Getting Started

Welcome To The Community

If you are here for the first time, welcome! I share my thoughts and perspectives on health, fitness, and other assorted topics along the way. Sometimes, I will provide ideas on how to solve a problem - be it through coaching, physical therapy, or education. Other times, I will share a personal story or two ... since life is all about the "big picture" isn't it? But perhaps most importantly, you will find a community of people like yourself that have shared visions and desires to make our world a better place. This all begins with health - and a new health ecosystem, an "operating system for health" if you will.

I Am Glad You Are Here

My belief has always been that if you put good into the world, it comes back to you. I would suggest that about 80% of health and fitness issues can be resolved via having good, quality information and a support network and mentorship when needed. My belief has always been that I can share much of what I know for free, and that if you need more than that, then you’ll likely want to pay for the extra help. You’ll find lots and lots of free information that should prove useful to you. If you ever get stuck or have a question, don’t hesitate to contact me and ask.

Because this is my personal blog and website, I reserve the right to talk about any old thing as it comes along. Believe me. You’ll enjoy that, too.
