About Me

picture of joe gakenheimer

I am a young man who enjoys education, personal fitness, sports, and travel. As I believe an active mind is an alive mind, I believe that an active body is a young body. My belief is that education is a life time accomplishment. An active mind is an alive mind. An out of shape mind is one that is destined to atrophy. I am the kind of person who wants to continue his education into the future, not to be more bountiful, but to be more educated. I guess if did ten pushups yesterday, that tomorrow I would probably do eleven; though the only person how would know it would be me.

  • My quest is to eat well, exercise, and live a long life.
  • Education, fitness, and bowling have one special thing in common to me.
  • They all reflect my belief of the Japanese term "kaizen." Kaizen means to continually improve. And that is how I live my life.

I am the sort of person who really never wanted to be rich monetarily. Instead I have always gotten the most satisfaction out of accomplishment. Be it learning a new word, or getting a new job; accomplishment is much greater than greed. I am a blue color guy who doesn't need to be fancy or flamboyant for confidence. All I need is a challenge and just one person to tell me I can't do it. This is how I live my life and it makes looking towards the future that much more exciting.

Sports are also very important to me. As I get older sports, many sports I played in my adolescence are no longer an option. Besides my physical fitness regime, I take great pride in my bowling abilities. Bowling is a sport that takes great amounts of precision, intelligence, and athleticism. I have multiple 300 games and am one of the better bowlers in the area. I once thought of bowling for a living, but realistically it would not provide the cerebral satisfaction which embalms my quest in life. Bowling is a wonderful activity where I can prove my skills against others as well as fulfill my insatiable desire to athletically compete.
