An Overview: I am a 31 year old father and husband. I am a US military veteran (a former Marine) with a background in the sales and service industries, and I am also a former educator and behavior management specialist working primarily with youth and young adults. Prior to my HKC certification I was and still am an independent fitness coach. To highlight any relevant experience I may have in physical training and fitness, I would have to rely on my experience as a Marine, as a former educator, and my current experience as a fitness coach. As a Marine, you have to be prepared for the daily and unexpected rigors of what military life brings whether it be in peace time or war time. Thus, as a Marine, I always took my physical fitness seriously and that seriousness stayed with me during my transition to civilian life. So, I am very serious about health and wellness. My background in education is largely in PE and Health, for which I served one year as a substitute teacher and two years developing and implementing fitness and health programs for a local alternative school. I have also been a fitness coach for one year, training and advising people regarding fitness programs and nutrition. I became involved with kettlebells over a year ago after a friend introduced them to me, and soon after decided to become certified through Dragondoor due to their immense knowledge and leadership in kettlebell training.
