He thanks his family for their continued love, support and understanding: his parents Tom and Sue Christman, husband Chris Zisko, in-laws Barbara and Robert Zisko, and his brother Tom Christman. "They are his biggest fans and advocates," Christman's biography for the event notes.

David Feeley, a 1999 graduate, ran track and played baseball and football at Brick High School. "Having the opportunity to play under Coach Warren Wolf was one of the most impactful experiences of his entire life," his biography for the event says. Feeley received his bachelor's degree in health and physical education from Plymouth State University, where he played football and was elected captain during his senior year. During his college spring break of 2001, David visited fellow Brick graduate and former quarterback-turned-fitness guru Todd Durkin in San Diego, California, and his path to falling in love with strength and conditioning began. After his college graduation, he taught health and phys ed at Brick for the 2005-06 school year and was the strength coach for the women’s track and field throwers, and an assistant strength coach for the football team, along with coaching tight ends and the offensive line during the 2005 season. He discovered his passion for strength and conditioning and, encouraged by Coach Bill Brunner, followed his passion. Feeley went on to be a graduate assistant at UNLV, working with the football, softball, baseball, and track and field teams; the assistant strength and conditioning coach at Florida International University. He was the director of football strength and conditioning for Ball State (where he was featured on ESPN's College Gameday to open the 2015 football season); and head strength and conditioning football coach for the University of South Carolina, before taking his current job at Temple University. "Each of these positions involved working with and guiding championship teams," his biography says. He has worked with more than 1,000 athletes and praised the mentorship of Donovan Brown and William Kleissler. He and his wife, Ann Marie, have been married for 10 years and have two children, Laura and John.
