For a 52 year old, I was in pretty good shape, worked out consistently, blood pressure and cholesterol under control. On October 23, 2009, I had just started working out in the fitness center at work when I collapsed. I had a cardiac arrest and was down for the count. Luckily, Mark Moeller and Jeff Hampel performed CPR and saved my life. Their response was very quick as was the emergency personnel who responded. A triple bypass and six days later, I am at home recovering thanks to Jeff and Mark.
