Honest truth;
I don't want Country Strength to be about me.
I want it to be about our members and the amazing things they're doing with some public education mixed in.
But my wife, who's the definition of my better half, tells me in order to do that better I have to build trust and that can only be done but telling people about myself.
So, here's some more.
I'm from and grew up in Maine in a small-ish coastal community, who until it was shuttered and eventually torn down, was best known for it's paper mill and associations with a granite revolutionary was fort called Fort Knox (not the one in Kentucky with the gold) and the counties tallest bridge elevator (Penobscot Narrows).
I was a decent two sport high school athlete 100 years ago, played a couple years of D3 college football (play is a strong word here as I only saw the field for special teams honeslty) while obtaining a bachelor's degree in sports management.
Much of my work career before becoming a caregiver for Shawna was blue-collar (landscaping, papermill), with some short stints in retail management.
Finding health and fitness as a passion was a complete accident that came from coaching my son's Jr high football team but now that I have, I want to do nothing else.
My biggest goal with Country Strength is to help people become the strongest, most capable versions of themselves and to use what they obtain to live the best lives possible.
I'm not sure where else to go with this but if you have questions, feel free to ask.
Do something to make yourself and your life better today. 💪
