I am the owner of a full time Mobile Disc Jockey Service, who primarily does music at weddings, private parties, and corporate events. I've been a Mobile Disc Jockey since 1993, and a business owner since 1996.

I also have a B.A. Degree in Elementary Education and taught school for several years, but decided to stick with entertaining. It is much more enjoyable and less stressful than teaching 20 unruly kids every day.

I'm also working on a Master's Degree in Counseling. I don't know if I'll ever become a counselor, but it will help me become a better communicator and listener in what I do in my profession now.

Previous to becoming a Mobile DJ and teacher, I served in the U.S. Army for 11 years before becoming medically disabled where I developed problems with my feet. I wasn't able to stand for long periods of time, do road marches, march in regular formations, or run anymore...all which are part of everyday life in the Army. To date, I've had four surgeries on my right foot, plus broke it twice, and have had three surgeries on my left foot, all military related.

I can pedal and that's what keeps me in shape.

I'm a Biostatistician. So I perform statistical analysis related to the biomedical and health field. This year, i was working as a freelancer, which gave me flexibility regarding my training so i was averaging 15 hours a week.
That will change next month, i'm starting a new job, so less flexibility, maybe more home trainer.
How do you guys do to cope between your job and training regimen?

Make the most of what time you have. If you have an hour, go really hard, to the limit of your abilities. Or if you commute to work, then mark the ride home an effort ride.

This is what i do. Few years ago, i used to have 2 jobs, I used to train for the Marathon at 11PM everyday. So I think yeah, with time and commitment, training becomes so much incorporated in your daily routine.
I have a cousin who is an Ironman and lives in the Gulf, he does all his training almost exclusively indoor because of weather and work.
