Rick DeTata shares a story of someone who decides what they want and makes it happen. Currently living as a retired firefighter, Veteran of the Air Force and Navy as a Desert Storm Naval Aviator, one thing he has never retired is his determination to stay good looking, fit and strong. Rick bluntly states there are no secrets, if someone wants to achieve a goal they must go after it and take the necessary steps to make it happen. He shares details of how fitness is a lifestyle and being an avid sport fisherman as a hobby helps to maintain both his physical and mental wellbeing. This man is truly capable of anything and a lifetime of staying fit while cracking jokes along the way, has no doubt helped him to create the confidence, drive and success he enjoys today. Find him on TikTok @justa.guy53 where he makes comedic videos to get through todays political issues.
