Are You a Wonk? Absolutely. I chose my career based on what lights me up, and I strive to live and breathe it every day. My work allows me to share my passion for health and fitness with others, and for this I am grateful. With any luck, I just might be able to make someone else’s life a little better as a result. Isn’t that what it’s really all about?
