I sort of got turned around - set on the right path(?) - at the NMMI - So, one great thing I did was sent all of my three kids to the NMMI for high school and two got their AA degree there!!

I have had spent 52 years in drug discovery science, being a co-inventor or inventor of over 350 United States patents and over 250 publications.

I am a lifelong fitness nut, having become a Certified Physical Fitness Trainer - National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) - 2010 and American Council of Exercise (ACE) - 2010 - focusing on the older population.

It is never too late to start!

As a way to keep busy, I spend some time as a personal trainer at 24HF, focusing on the older population.

I published a book in 1917 - My Life In Pursuit of Exceptional Physical Fitness - Age 6 to 73 and Counting - Can get on Amazon -

Lots of fist fights - but we didn't shoot each other as the current trend!
