For over 20 years, I’ve been passionate about fitness, constantly learning and growing along the way. With certifications from ISSA as a Master Trainer and in TRX, I’ve developed a deep understanding of training methods. My focus is on making fitness approachable, especially for those feeling stuck or unsure where to start. Rucking—a mix of walking and carrying weight—has become more than just exercise for me. It’s more of a lifestyle now. And it’s a simple yet powerful way to build strength and resilience, especially for those looking for effective alternatives to the gym. I also find strength training deeply rewarding, offering both physical and mental benefits. Outside of fitness, I balance life with fishing, reading, and raising five amazing kids with my wife. These moments keep me grounded and inspired. Through Rucking Basics, I help beginners and experienced enthusiasts alike. My goal is to simplify fitness, solve common challenges, and build a supportive community fueled by two decades of experience. Together, we’ll grow stronger.
