I got married in 1996 and have 2 boys. I started at UPS when I was 19. Spent 2 years unloading boxes, then became a driver at 21, and retired in 2012.

In 92 I started Total Fitness in the old Piqua Mall- it began as a small club. Like most businesses starting out at first I lost my ass, but by 2000 I was all in, built the new 12,000 square foot building, and truly made it the priority it still is today. In 2005 I expanded by adding a Weight Management company, Thin & Healthy, inside of Total Fitness. It is fulfilling to help people achieve their goals. Who'd have thought I'd turn out to be one of those types? :)

Throughout all those years, in my spare time, I bought "condemened" doubles and apartments, fully rehabbed them, and used them as rentals. I actually built a pretty decent rental business- but she took almost all of it in the divorce. Now I miss them more than I miss her... They say it's easier the 2nd time around, and I'm finding that out! Edging back into real estate a property at a time and looking forward to building a 2nd Club soon.

Isn't it amazing how we've been out of school almost 30 years, and shit- I'm only 38! As they say, if it's on the internet it has to be true............. ;)

I was a dumbass.....
