Ralph Serpe

Ralph Serpe leverages more than 35 years of construction management experience to serve as president of Kemsco Construction and Equipment Company. The New Jersey-based utility contracting enterprise, founded in 1982, generates annual revenue in excess of $70 million. Beyond his professional pursuits, Ralph Serpe enjoys watching college football.

The 2019 college football season begins on August 29, and although Clemson and Alabama remain the favorites to reach the College Football Playoff, other teams like LSU, Texas, and Nebraska have renewed optimism heading into the new season. Below are three games to highlight in 2019:

1. Ohio State at Nebraska (Week 5) – Despite winning only four of its 12 games last season, Nebraska is considered a championship contender by some oddsmakers in 2019. The team posted a 4-2 record in its final six games last year and will return quarterback Adrian Martinez. Ohio State has a relatively easy schedule through the first four weeks and should be undefeated for this contest.

2. Texas at Oklahoma (Week 7) – These two rivals played twice in 2018, with each team winning a game. Both teams are expected to be among the top-10 in the nation, despite the fact that Oklahoma will be without quarterback Kyler Murray, who was selected first overall in the 2019 NFL Draft.

3. LSU at Alabama (Week 11) – Alabama has beat LSU in each of the team’s last eight meetings, including a 29-0 victory last season, but LSU finished the year strong with a win in the Fiesta Bowl. This game will have major implications in the SEC West.

1. Anthony Edwards – The early favorite to be the top pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, Edwards is a 6-foot-5, 215-pound shooting guard committed to the University of Georgia. His best asset is his ability to score, although he has solid playmaking abilities. 247Sports has compared him to James Harden.

2. James Wiseman – The No. 2 ranked recruit in the nation according to 247Sports, Wiseman is a 7-foot-0, 210-pound center committed to the University of Memphis. Wiseman has a 7-foot-6 wingspan and has been compared to Myles Turner of the Indiana Pacers.

3. Cole Anthony – A 6-foot-3, 185-pound Virginia native, Anthony played high school basketball at Oak Hill Academy and is committed to the University of North Carolina. The son of former NBA player Greg Anthony, he is the No. 4 ranked recruit in the nation and first among combo guards.

As the president of Kemsco Construction and Equipment Company in Newark, New Jersey, Ralph Serpe oversees a contracting firm with $70+ million in annual revenue. Native to North Caldwell, New Jersey, Ralph Serpe enjoys working out on his stationary bicycle.

Stationary bikes are an excellent way to maintain your fitness. Riding one for 30 minutes a day five times a week can help keep your heart in shape and may even prolong your life.

Consistent exercise trains your heart to circulate blood more efficiently. It also lowers your blood sugar level, brings down high blood pressure, and helps you maintain the right amount of HDL or “good” cholesterol. If you have had a heart attack, using the bike reduces the risk of having another occurrence.

Some exercises such as jogging can be hard on the knees, but the stationary bike’s low-impact regimen is kinder to them. Frequent exercise using a stationary bike can help strengthen the muscles above and below the joint, alleviating pain. People with chronic back pain may also benefit from being seated on the bike. Not to mention, working out of stationary bikes is also an effective way to burn calories.

Finally, stationary bikes are flexible and convenient. Most of them have pre-programmed workouts and allow you to increase resistance. Additionally, you can work out indoors at any time you want.
