Twelve years ago, on a rainy morning in East Pittsburgh, I was able to witness my dear friend, Dean Kokanos, in the company of his beloved wife, Gabrielle, his newborn son, Peter, his mother and father, and friends be ordained by Metropolitan Savas of Pittsburgh in The Divine Liturgy on the Feast of Saint Panteleimon.

He’ll never make a big deal of it; if you see him today, wish him “Many Years.”

July of 2020

had just reopened post-Covid, and our training staff took this shot to celebrate.

I’d missed my friends. I’ve never worked harder or laughed louder than with this group of people.

“Ray, people will come, Ray.

They’ll come to Iowa for reasons they can’t even fathom. They’ll turn up your driveway, not knowing for sure why they’re doing it. They’ll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past.

“Of course, we won’t mind if you look around,” you’ll say. “It’s only twenty dollars per person.” They’ll pass over the money without even thinking about it. For it is money they have and peace they lack. And they’ll walk out to the bleachers, and sit in shirt-sleeves on a perfect afternoon. They’ll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they’ll watch the game, and it’ll be as if they’d dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick, they’ll have to brush them away from their faces.

Mann: People will come, Ray.

The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball.

America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It’s been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time.

This field, this game — it’s a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good, and it could be again.

Ohhhhhhhh, people will come, Ray. People will most definitely come.” Field of Dreams, James Earl Jones as Mann

Friends,

Covid was not kind to fitness professionals.

I stepped away from in-person training at , and over the last three years, I severely limited my client list.

But, I missed it.

I am my best self in the gym; what began as a way to land better roles developed into a passion that is so intertwined with who I am that I will never not be a “gym” guy.

Then, a few close friends asked me for help. And, as I was designing and assessing, I fell in love with being a trainer yet again.

So, I re-certified through . The process was simple and the team there supplied support that made getting recruited a no-brainer.

I’m still at my day job. Banking has been a great fit, and my manager is the kind of boss I hope everyone has.

That being said: if you’re looking to get started on a fitness journey, need some help with design, or want some accountability: I’m here.

Be well,

Tom

My Uncle Regis lived a long life, and was a certified badass, even amongst a generation of men remembered for being so.

Regie gave people nicknames and they stuck.

Regie shot more rounds of golf than most pros, and he shot them well. He logged his last hole-in-one at age 76, 20 years ago.

He was the first guy I know who lifted weights.

He loved good clothes, nice cars, and chicken nuggets.

He cared deeply for his beloved wife (My Aunt Geri) and his dog, Sky.

I often introduced by Uncle Regie as “The Handsomest Guy I know.” He looked like Bruce Wayne: cleft chin, coal black hair, and steely blue eyes. He would verify “You’re damned right I am.”

The coat I wear when the seasons turn (vintage Brooks Brothers, fur-trimmed) was a gift from Regie.

Days are often long. Years pass quickly. Fill yours with the things that make you happy.

To a life well-lived.
