IAm Renato Trisciuzzi

Working in the audit profession comes with its challenges. But what auditor doesn’t love a challenge? Throughout the last 28 years, I traveled the world and ate in restaurants almost every day. Over time, I started to see the effect. A year ago, I challenged myself to lose the weight I had put on over the years, and I signed up for a triathlon.

Throughout my training, I continued working, traveling, and studying to get my CPEs. After 11 months of hard work, I completed the triathlon in 14 hours and 22 minutes! But I still needed to learn to cook to maintain a healthy lifestyle. My cooking classes began with recipes for fresh, healthy food, but I soon expanded my repertoire to include American barbecue, Italian pizza, and Brazilian cakes.

So, I gained some (not all) of the weight back — but it was worth it! My family is the biggest beneficiary of my journey, and now they have a chef at home and a grandfather with plenty of energy to play with the grandkids.
