Welcome!
My belief has always been that your physical health & capability ties into all other aspects of your life. Your ability to think, come up with creative ideas, maintain energy levels to accomplish everyday (and not so everyday) tasks, build desire for future ambitions, enjoy simple pleasures, maintain a healthy attitude, sense of well-being, and contentment are all tied to how well you maintain your body.
And when it comes to health and nutrition there’s no shortage of mainstream media advice. General search terms on Google or Amazon for advice on health, fitness, exercise, training, nutrition… pull up more information than most people have time to sift through - and often times conflicting information at that.
Why is it that with all the M.D.s, health care providers, dieticians, trainers, & fitness experts, health challenges continue to grow? Sure, people may be living longer but there’s less life in their years. It greatly saddens me to see people compromised or hurting. My heart goes out to people and I respect people going through a tough situation who want to make a change for the better.
While I graduated from Notre Dame University with a degree in Aerospace Engineering my passion has always been health and nutrition. And I research the subject regularly. It’s something I’ve always loved to do - although I’ve generally done the research for my own benefit and kept the notes to myself.
I’ve met a lot of great people while training who have asked for various types of input and over time many of them have suggested that I should put “something” together. This proved to be an interesting challenge since it forced me to think in terms of the challenges faced by others rather than just my own. I actually started going out of my way to have discussions with people of all age groups to get a feel for what was important to them.
Most people seemed very motivated by what I had to share and I received a lot of positive feedback and encouragement which is responsible for how this site was born. I like to think that beyond what I had to share they could see that I was genuinely interested in helping them reach their goals. And while some people have buried their own gifts I believe one of my gifts is to see the greatness inside of others and help them to see possibilities for their own lives.
Someone once defined success as trying one more time. If you’re willing to take a step and get started then it will be my job to insure that you don’t let yourself fail and provide you with tools and resources that get the job done. My goal for you is self-sufficiency, self-reliance, and self-motivation.
Much of this site will be devoted to providing quality information not influenced by big business that like to filter information you receive in the media. The media wants to please the businesses that advertise with them, I’m committed to arming my readers with information they can put to use that makes a positive difference in their lives. I plan to continue adding to this site on a broad variety of topics that I believe will be of interest to everyone from the person who would simply like to improve their health to the person striving to achieve peak physical excellence.
