Have you ever hung out with Eddie Van Halen? I have. He was my childhood idol. And he sparked my passion for music, which led me to pursue a career in rock ‘n roll. Despite my father’s encouragement to follow in his footsteps and join his insurance agency, I had to follow my dream. I got an internship with WEA, the division of Warner Bros. Records and the next four years were some of the most amazing of my young life. That’s when I met some super cool artists. Aerosmith, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Neil Diamond, Shania Twain, and, of course, Van Halen were just a few of the bands I got to work with. With a taste for the industry, I opened my own company, Diamond in the Rough Marketing, with a business partner at the time. Eventually, I signed a contract with Columbia Records. But soon the music business began a phase of transition. I knew I had to get out and move on. I’m thankful for the close relationship I had with my dad then and still today. With his help, I got into the insurance industry. I started out as an agent for his company — with no money and no salary. It was tough for a few years until something clicked. I realized if I was going to pursue this industry and truly become successful, I wanted to do it my way. In a way that brought me happiness... In a way that I could really help people the best way I knew how.I created my own niche. Bar and Restaurant Insurance was born. One restaurant and one relationship at a time, my father and I built the agency to revolve around the hospitality industry. It was around this time that I also realized I needed to align my life choices with the lifestyle I wanted to achieve. I had created my destiny and success within the insurance industry. But I knew I also needed to redirect my personal life — and prioritize my health and fitness. On my path back to health, I developed my own method, the 3F.it method, which is centered around the “3Fs” food, fitness and focus. These simple tools can help you improve your health for good — mind, body and soul. Based on this method, I created a purpose-driven and fulfilling life. Taking baby steps every day to improve my daily love for myself gave me great energy to help others around me. I discovered I wanted to help others achieve that same level of happiness and health.I know everyone is different — but one thing we all need is love. That starts from within. I truly believe discovering what is within and taking the steps towards creating your path to health is just one of the many ways to achieve a beautiful and energy-filled life.
