It is my vision to help individuals to succeed in their fitness goals.  Being a Native American, I am proud of my heritage, but their is a down side to this.  On both sides of my parents, diabetes runs rampant.  Both my grandparents on my dad's side passed away due to complications from diabetes.  My father passed away in April of 2002 from an aneurysm in the head from a blood clot  that also caused a heart attack a week earlier.  Taking good care of ourselves is critical if we want to live a long and healthy life.
