My Story

I’m an introvert who decided to start a health & fitness blog, but I also drink wine, so it’ll be fine. I was born and raised in Alaska. I’ve spent a good portion of my life either in school, the military, or law enforcement…sometimes all at once. I’ve served in two different branches of service: Navy & Air.

I was first forced into the physical fitness arena in 1992 when I joined the U.S. Navy. It took the U.S. Navy to force me to enjoy physical training before I became obsessed with everything health & fitness related, and, yes, that includes wine. I enjoy teaching others what I know. I think health & fitness should be challenging but fun with a splash of humor…just like life!

I’m a certified personal trainer with a Ph.D. in Psychology. I have always focused my education on health & fitness…and serial killers, although never at the same time. I’ve watched fitness trends come and go and have found that time and again it’s best to just go back to the basics…of course that may just be flashbacks from bootcamp. I love sharing my knowledge and experience and hope you love it too.
