Long story short, I've always been a healthy guy. Division one athlete, MMA fighter, husband and father of 3. However life, compound fracture of the Right knee and ACL/MCL/PCL tear in the left equaled no more cardio and my weight got over 300 lbs.

I coach high school and youth football but found that I just couldn't do much of anything due to my knees. Add hypertension and my health was in the dumps.

This surgery has been the boost I need. My motivation wasn't a particular size or weight; just being healthy. I had surgery on 7/19/12 and have begun the road to a healthier - better life!

Oh I just asked cause we have a new baseball field down the street and wondered if it was there' date=' but I guess not. :-)[/quote']

It was at that field where there are 5 fields in one location.
