WHERE WE STARTED...
10 Years ago I made the decision to leave working at a busy gym in the city and venture off on my own.
Working at the gym meant pretty much living at the gym - building my business and helping clients reach their goals required me to be there for much of my days.
One day Laura Hall brought Quinn in to see me as it hadn't seen him much, and hadn't really been home for a while. He was just a toddler at the time.
To my amazement Quinn was standing. He was even dancing!
Apparently he had been doing this for a couple of weeks and I didn't even know.
It was at that point it hit me and changed my life. If I didn't get out of there I would miss many more milestones and the chance to do what I really love - being a dad.
So I took the leap of faith (and measuring tape and spray paint) and decided to build a gym in our backyard. For the sole purpose of being there for our kids in the years to come.
Three kids later, and It's a decision that I have never regretted, and I still wake up thankful.
It's meant that I have been able to do school pick-ups and drop-offs, attended assemblies, cross countries and other school events. It's also meant that I was able to go to weekly therapy sessions with our boy who has special needs, and be there for him while transitioning to school.
A huge thank you to Tyrone O'Halloran for helping to make this dream a reality, and for the hours you put in building the gym. - and to the others who helped out during the building process.
And thank you to all of my friends and family (especially Laura) for supporting me over the past 10 years
