Movement Sports Magazine is BACK
Many of you know that for years I wrote for a multisport publication called Liberty Sports Magazine, which later evolved into Movement Sports Magazine. Movement Sports fell onto some tough times and needed to take a little break but I’m happy to report that we are putting the band back together as the new Movement Sports. Expect a soft launch in the coming weeks! Stay tuned!
Interview with Pat Croce & ACS
I recently did another brief inspirational video with Pat Croce for the American Cancer Society’s HEALED initiative. You can check it out HERE!
Cancer Exercise Specialist Certification
I committed to doing a thing. Many people know that for the last 16 years I have been volunteering to mentor and consult cancer patients on a variety of topics including fitness and exercise. And this is something I will continue to do. To add further value to this, I enrolled in a Cancer Exercise Specialist certification program which is conducted by the Cancer Exercise Training Institute, in partnership with the American Council on Exercise. I’m looking forward to gaining some valuable knowledge which will only help both me, and the patients I engage with. Stay tuned for more!
ACS DetermiNation
Greetings!! I am most stoked to let ya’ll know that I am going to be lending my energy, motivation, and expertise to the American Cancer Society’s DetermiNation program. This is a program that offers training and support for people to participate in running and cycling events while raising valuable funds and awareness for their mission. I had a great call with their leadership team and am looking forward to adding value wherever I can. Check then out HERE.

The Patient Story Interview
Here is the finished product of the 5 part interview I recently did for @thepatientstory. The 5 segments track my 15 year journey from initial symptoms all the way through to the targeted therapy treatment I’m currently on…. and all 54 rounds of chemotherapy treatment in between. I usually struggle a lot with listening to my own interviews but I think the team did a nice job with this project.
Pouring the Foundation
I’ve been slowly laying the bricks for what will become the next chapter in my life. As many folks know, I’ve been working very closely with the cancer community for many years. And my plan is to do even more in the coming months and next year. I’ve recently acquired a couple of additional certifications which will allow me to connect with patients on a more personal level. Stay tuned for some more cool things coming. In the meantime, I’d love to hear from patients out there. What would you like to see in the exercise world? What do you need? What’s lacking? What would motivate you to get moving?
