What do you specialize in? 
Fitness over 50.

Who do you look up to? 
My sister. My nephew has spent a lot of time in surgeries and she has been there to help rehabilitate him. She is one of the strongest people I know.

Des Plaines a suburb just north of O'Hare Airport. Right now I live in Bridgeport on the south side of Chicago. I call it a small neighborhood with a big heart. Everyone is close.
