He has dedicated his career to population health strategies and services that extend the quality of life of older adults through healthcare and well-care initiatives.

He possesses several clinical certifications and has been a member and conference speaker for the American College of Sports Medicine, Medical Fitness Association, International Council on Active Aging and LeadingAge Illinois. Vic’s passion to pursue certification as a Cancer Exercise Specialist started when he was diagnosed in August of 2022 with Multiple Myeloma. After induction therapy, two stem cell transplants and back surgery to support compression fractures in his thoracic spine, he found that the healthcare industry offered little guidance regarding exercise.
