Personal quote: "Motivational speaker Wayne Dyer said, 'Do what you Love, Love what you Do!' As a member of the Mettler Center I saw that in each employee of the center, and it made me want to keep on working on my fitness and health to the best of my ability. As a staff member now, I love what I am doing and want to pass that on to everyone that walks into the Mettler Center door."
