Q. How did you get your F3 Nickname?

A.  I’m a huge Christmas fan… Love everything about the Christmas season and I’m a movie-buff in tandem so it was only natural that I earn a nick name like Buddy al a Buddy the Elf (What’s your favorite color?)

Q What is your favorite Q exercise to do ?

A. Being young and having really bad knees really-really sucks - The fact that modifying my exercises to participate and still push myself has been a game changer. The fact that my PAX encourage me even though I’m doing something slightly different really helps motivate me. I actually really like Motivators… I’ve been slowly (really slowly) building up my endurance and conditioning and I feel like I can do more and more motivators each month. It’s a great measure for my personal growth and something I love pushing myself on

Q. How has F3 impacted your life ?

A. I really can’t properly express how much this community has done for me personally… The tangible fitness portion displays itself daily with my ability to finish a beatdown, play with my kiddos in the yard, take care of menial chores around the house. The 2nd F though is what really gets me charged up… I moved to TX in 2019 and left behind a community of friends and family in CA. I looked for a community to belong to for years before my boy Rip brought me to F3. I have become so much more positive and compassionate since joining my fellow HIM in the gloom… My wife and peers have all commented on the change and it’s so affirming that I’m doing the right things with my life. Finally - Through telling others about F3 and encouraging my peers in the Green I know that I have impacted other’s lives which is so incredibly rewarding… I’m so grateful for the community
