About

• I’m married to a wonderful woman, have 3 beautiful sons, and 3 crazy dogs.
• Have been up to 50lbs heavier than I currently weigh, having lost on both high carb and high fat “paleo” diets…this is to say that while I might be naturally lean, I have been very overfat. You can read about all of that here.
