To be a light in a world that has been conditioned to dampen us.

Michael Chrysler
I'm first the father of two Amazing children, who promises to lead, love, and care for them as they navigate their new lives in this challenging world.
35 years ago I fell in love with fitness the same way many 14 year old boys do. Bigger biceps will help me attract girls and gain the respect of my peers. Who knew that 35 years later things don't change much, lol. Seriously though 35 years later the reasons are so much deeper. Fitness and health now is a Standard that I have set to help me gain and maintain respect for myself!
It hasn't always been easy, difficult marriage which ended in Divorce. Not one but two mini strokes (Tia's), depression, and some strong bouts of anxiety throughout most of my life. However, I always knew there had to be something I could do to help people in this world. I knew God had a plan for me to shine a light not only in myself but for others as well. I have had so many great mentors in my life shining their light for me. From my time in High School with some amazing coaches and teachers, to College where I fell in love with Exercise Science at EWU. Later at Gonzaga University which gave me a chance to lead their Strength and Conditioning Department where I was blessed to work with so many amazing athletes, coaches and trainers.
After that experience I was blessed again with meeting so many people who just wouldn't give up on me. Even with all this awesome guidance and opportunity I still fell prey to becoming unhealthy, depressed and unmotivated. I optimized the true "Dad Bod" lifestyle. This is so true of so many people out there and I am living proof it doesn't have to be.
Hero Dad Bod was created to guide others, and to guide myself to set our Standards. Standards that can guide us all to our greatest potential.
I promise with my whole being to support, teach, and motivate you in every way possible. This is truly my life's passion and I appreciate your love and support as we navigate this beautiful, challenging world together.
Be blessed, be healthy, be fit. And be the "Hero of your own movie"!
