Hi! I'm Nick Brindisi, and I built MyActiveLifetime.com. Growing up and living in Beautiful Collingwood, Ontario, Canada gave me a perfect setting to live an active life from an early Age. With ski hills, the huge Georgian Bay off Lake Huron, forest trails, and a wide variety of sports facilities, Collingwood is ideal for healthy active lifestyles. I have had the honour to raise two young men, Matthew and Thomas who also have adopted athletic, healthy lifestyles.
I currently live in Woodstock Virginia, in the Shenandoah Valley. We are surrounded by Blue Ridge Mountains to the east and Allegheny Mountains to the west. The Shenandoah river takes 7 bends running through town and we are surrounded by a network of great running trails from the Appalachian to Massunutten and Tuscarora trails.
My wife Mercedes is a physician and formerly epidemiologist for the state of Virginia and currently executive director of the Sinclair Health Clinic in Winchester Virginia. She is an avid runner. I have 2 wonderful step-daughters aged 19 and 12, the eldest in university and the younger in middle school and a competitive gymnast.
Having volunteered as a coach for many years in a variety of sports, I now make coaching and helping others my life long vocation. If I can help one person improve one aspect of their life then I'm fulfilled.
My goal in creating My Active Lifetime is to bring together the collective knowledge of other people who inspire me to write about a variety of things related to healthy living. Physical, mental, spiritual and nutritional health are all key areas that we all need to improve upon. The contributors I have selected are subject matter experts in areas such as life coaching, psychotherapy, nutrition, physical conditioning, various sports and more! I'm thrilled to bring it all together to share here on myactivelifetime.com.
