Profile Information

About Me:
Hi. I’m Brian, the old man. That’s me, they call me the old man not because I’m that old, but because I usually spend all my time with a younger crowd. I am 49, divorced, and have two wonderful children, a son and a daughter. I live on the outskirts of Atlanta, Georgia, USA. I have BBA degree from Georgia State University. I have taken graduate courses in Religious Education from Loyola University and in Secondary Education from Jones International University. I currently write a column for The Henry County Times on Health and Fitness. I work out of my home in the customer service industry. My past positions have included Vice President of Operations, Consultant, Distribution Manager, District Manager, Area Manager, Quality Assurance, and Shift Manager. When I was healthy, I was active in the community as a Soccer Coach, Religious Education Teacher, Choir Member, Zoo Volunteer, and numerous leadership positions with the Boy Scouts of America.

I have been through many hard times. I have limited mobility due to a combination of things. I have congestive heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, and arthritis in my knees and one hip. My health has been improving. Two years ago I was bed ridden. In February, I almost died. Today, I am able to get out of the house without my wheelchair and walk short distances and I have lost over 80 pounds. I will continue to update my progress. I hope my blog inspires you, makes you laugh, makes you cry, makes you angry, and basically makes you feel. Life is an embodiment of feelings. Both the good and the bad help us experience life to the fullest. If there were no bad feelings then how would we know what was good? I guess it’s that yin yang thing. Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning how to dance in the rain. I think I read that in a fortune cookie once. I hope you enjoy my articles and share them with your friends. God Bless You.
