Rodney's Story
Hello everyone..As my friends may remember I worked out alot with weights in high school I think maybe before it really got popular? Hated school work and did not really focus like I should have. Worked in health clubs all through high school and thought that I would like to own a gym one day. After school got married too early went to college for a while and then dropped out to pursue my own business. I decided to open a business that Sells Fitness equipment and named it Fitness Expo. I started in Beaumont and two years later expanded to New Orleans La then Kenner La, Metairie la,Mandeville La,Baton Rouge la, Shreveport La, Jackson Ms, Gulfcoast Ms with Retail store and later expanded into an outside sales force for the commercial distribution of Fitness Equipment.
My company Fitness Expo is now 29 years old and has won awards in my industry for sales volumes, Reputation and longevity. I have alot of fun doing speaking engagements around the country trying to motivate the up and coming young sales people out there that are just now finding some direction in the Health and Fitness Field.

f Fitness Expo it is not often that you are able to have a hobby that actually turns in to a career. I have a daughter and son from my first marriage that went to LSU and now work for me. My daughter Jennifer is 27 and married and graduated with a mkting degree. Jennifer takes care of all the companies advertising and promotions for all markets. My son Austin is married and runs my Shreveport region and store. I came to the first 10 year reunion with the first wife and then the 2nd 20 year reunion with my Babe..Kathi. Kathi and I have been married now for 13 years and have 6 children together..Rodney the third,Christian,Conrad, Demitri, and twin daughters Kaymen and Bianca. Kathi does not work but has fun with the kids and takes care of me. She does squeeze in some personal time now ( the twins are 5 months )because we recently brought in a nanny 22 years old and fine from Columbia..ha ha.
Anyway we are all getting older and have all of our own personal stories I'm sure. Hopefully my enthusiasm for my business, wife and kiddys will keep me young..WE WILL SEE????Hope to see my friends and catch up at the reunion..
