Short Bio

Hi,

I am a 70 year old married to my amazing wife since 1974. We have two children a boy and girl and three grandkids two boys six and three and one granddaughter three as well.

Most of my life I was a retail butcher in my own shop in Brooklyn, NY.  I retired after fifty years in 2012 and became a Realtor working along side my wife.

I’m active, mostly fit riding my bike regularly, with moderate resistance training as well. I believe in God and am a practicing Catholic.  I started noticing problems with my speech in December of 2019 and wasn’t diagnosed until September of 2020.  I’m very fortunate in that my disease progression has been mostly in speech with slight loss of strength in my right index finger and thumb.  I do take a bunch of supplement’s with the emphasis on Tudca, Theracumin, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Lions Mane among others.

I am a hopeful person that no matter what comes my way I still consider myself blessed in relation to the world condition.

Thanks,

Lou
