I have some question about the usage of "before" [here](http://sbohp.com/southbaydoctor6.html): 

> 
> Dr. Tom Chen lives in Palo Alto with his wife Aline, daughter, Laura, and son, Jason. ***Before the demands of parenthood and clinical practice***, Dr. Chen enjoyed playing the violin with a chamber music group and participating in triathlons. 
> 
> 
> 

Is something missing between "*before*" and "*the demands of...*"? Would a rewrite like this: 

> 
> Dr. Tom Chen lives in Palo Alto with his wife Aline, daughter, Laura, and son, Jason. Before ***handling*** the demands of parenthood and clinical practice, Dr. Chen enjoyed playing the violin with a chamber music group and participating in triathlons. 
> 
> 
> 

be better?
