When Tom said "I feel like the Grim Reaper is riding shotgun" I felt his reality hit me like a slap in the face!
Listen in as my good friend and former teammate at JMU discuss his recent health scare. Tom is one of the easiest-going guys I have ever met. A stellar athlete in his prime and even to this day. Tom, like many of us, had unknowingly let life catch up to him. With the stress of raising kids, two working parents, family health issues, and covid restrictions, Tom allowed his weight to creep up on him unchecked.
Before he even had the chance to realize it, Tom was faced with a dire situation at 42 years old. Tom was staring down the barrel of a "widow maker" heart attack, and didn't even know it! His message is clear, "don't tough guy yourself into a bad situation" so this doesn't happen to you or anyone else you know!
