I taught physical education and coached wrestling at a high school in Union County for thirty years. I liked the kids, but what I really liked was helping the ones who thought they were not athletic find out they were. Older adults remind me of those kids more than you would think. Most just need someone to show them where to start.

My sessions are practical. We work on getting up from a low couch, climbing stairs with confidence, and walking a little farther each week. When the weather is nice we take part of the lesson outside for a walk around the block, and I coach your posture and stride as we go. I am not a drill sergeant. I am the coach who talks about the Yankees between sets.

I live in Millburn with my wife, Ellen, and we have two grown daughters. Most mornings I walk the Lenape Trail in South Mountain Reservation, and at 59 I still beat my old students to the top of Washington Rock.
