Lift. Listen. Learn

Hi Steem! My name is Alan and I'm a Scratch DJ, fitness enthusiast, Sunday School teacher and Dad of 4 (well...5 counting my doggy King). I have a day job as a programmer/integrator for a multimedia company in Houston, Texas but I make time for my passions when and how I can. The best part is I get to engage my kids in my activities as well and they love it. My second oldest daughter Rosie loves to sing and practices her songs in my studio and my 3rd oldest daughter Saya and my son Andre's train with their Dad in our gym weightlifting and doing calisthenics.

You see, my father (Ron) loved fitness as well and he had a vision for a gym that was never realized due to his untimely death at 50. So his mantle has been passed on to me and I am starting to realize his vision with those closest to me. We are the founding members of "Ronnie's Ruckus Room", maybe not the original vision my Dad had, but my version of it.

Time is the most valuable commodity that we have. It is not meant to be sold but given freely. We can't expect a return from it except that it would be valued and learned from. Time is always running and we have to keep up with it lest we get left behind with bad investments and lost wages. I give it with the most selfless attitude I can to who needs it the most, those who ask for it. Time is a precious gift that we must cherish, so spend it wisely.
