I have always enjoyed writing, educating, reading and learning.  In fact, one of the reasons why I got into the fitness business was to educate and help as many people as I can.  I LOVE HELPING PEOPLE, and I think I am pretty good at it because I love what I do, and I have a unique gift to be able to break down the difficult into manageable bites.  Changing poeples lives is the best shit in the world. 

 

I think I enjoy it so much because it makes me feel good, but also makes me feel like the shit...like,

 

"Hey, I did that to you and helped you be better."

 

And that makes me feel like a Wizard.  

 

I opened up a gym called KDR (Knowledge Driven Results) Fitness to help me accomplish that goal. Blogging was something I did a little bit when I first got into the industry, but training people 50+ hours per week was not conducive to writing, so I stopped it with the intention of eventually going back to it. 

 

Then I was diagnosed with Cancer in Feb of 2016, Bulky Classical Hodgkins Lymphoma.  That caused my entire world to shift.  My girl friend and I worked hard enough so that I am able to step away from the gym and focus on getting better, that also means I have the time to start blogging again!  

 

So, welcome to my blog!  Thank you for giving me this opportunity cancer, now fuck off and die.

​

I am a scientist at heart.  I have a strong spiritual side, but, when it comes to giving out information, I only give information that I personally have witnessed (and can explain!  Sometimes.), researched and used in my own life helping people and at my award winning gym KDR Fitness (voted best gym in the Upper Valley, top Ten Gym in NH and home to the best asses in the Upper Valley!)

This long winded introduction was written so that you understand who I am, what I have accomplished, how I look at my world and ME.  I don't give two shits if you believe me, but, I have put a substantial amount of time in, so at the least...listen and think.
