Wife mother of three girls, living my best life❤️
53 year old dad to three beautiful young ladies. Husband to a wonderful wife who after 20 years somehow hasn't realized she's out of my league. I'm a retired professional athlete currently enjoying a second career working with children who have disabilities. My appearance plays a role in my work because the children I work with need to trust me and have confidence in my abilities; looking the part helps with that. I have two sisters in the medical field; one PA one MA. Both my sisters and my beautiful wife (see above, "out of my league") have gotten work done since their late 20's. My journey into DIY started on my 35th birthday when my sisters and wife collectively gave me two syringes of filler and botox from the doctor they all use. When I got the treatment I was absolutely fascinated by the medical office; all the syringes, needles, cannulas, tools, and devices. I had so many questions. I wanted to understand EVERYTHING. I spent more time asking the nurse about all the things in her treatment room than talking about filler! That fascination is what led me to DIY because it was simply too interesting to just sit there while someone else did the work. I wanted to fully understand all the aspects of different procedures as opposed to simply the results they promise. Thus my journey began, and 18 years later I'm just as fascinated by non-invasive aesthetics today as I was back then. Personally, I believe growing old gracefully is for those without imagination. I strive to be the best versions of myself, not just for me, but more importantly, for my loved ones. I believe the way a person takes care of the outside, can say a lot about what is on the inside. Finally, no matter how many times I hear people say, "dad-bod is sexy", while understanding aging and dad-bod is a part of life, I don't think it's sexy! I have been a Tribe member since FaceBook days. I'm so grateful and truly appreciate that we have this forum to gather, share experiences, and support each other. As a man, even a man from a medical family, I have very few people I can speak candidly with about this passion, but thanks to the Tribe, I never feel alone.
