Don's Story
Life
It's hard to believe we're approaching our 20 year reunion. Much has happened since our days at RCK.
In sum, I graduated with a Finance degree from the University of Notre Dame in 1990. Following 8 years of work as a claims adjustor in the insurance industrty, I decided to pursue my real passions. For awhile, a couple of partners and I operated an adventure travel service called, "Americana Buzz", for backpackers visiting New York City.

happier with a career that will continue to grow with time. We recently underwent massive renovation and expansion creating a trio of world-class facilities. If you're still local to the Hudson Valley, please visit us! It's nice to often cross paths with classmates working out in the clubs.

I'm sure I'll choose to settle down someday, but for now I've been fortunate in being able to travel often and focus hard on an amazing career path. I view the world as a giant playground and plan to continue my pursuit of adventure and ground-breaking work in the fitness industry. When the time is right, I'll hopefully cross paths with the future "Mrs. Murphy" and raise a couple of kids.
That's all for now. I look forward to seeing many of you at the 20-year reunion.
