ONLY1TONY, 54
I am a fairly laid back 54 years young gentleman. I worked as a fitness instructor at a raquetball club for a couple of years while I was attending college. I was majoring in physical fitness when I began working there. While working at the club, and after observing many of the members, I found that the happiest members were sales people. I then changed my major to marketing. One of the members was the president of a medical supply manufacturing company. We became friends and he needed a sales representative for the company's Southeast territory. He knew what my plans were and that I was going to school in order to accomplish them. He called me to his office for a meeting and told me that he admired me for what I was doing, but if I would drop out of school and come to work for his company, I could have the equivalent of a bachelors degree after only a few years. That sounded good to me so I left school and in 1983, I married, went to work for a new company, and moved to Birmingham, Alabama. After being in Birmingham for only about 8 months, the company decided that I needed to live in Atlanta, Georgia. So we moved again.
