He told me I couldn’t and that’s why I did. I’ve earned my wings, but the adventure continues. Soon, I’ll be one of only fifteen Americans to complete the world’s most coveted adventure achievement: the Adventurers’ Grand Slam.While conquering six of the Grand Slams’ seven summits, I sought functional and balanced training that would simultaneously engage multiple muscle groups and improve strength, balance, and form. I discovered a workout combining an Olympic bar pivoting one end in the center of a 45 lb plate to create movement I had never done before. I realized I had an idea for a product that would be innovative, portable, and something not seen anywhere. With Rhonda’s full-fledged support, I created a prototype. After intense research and development, we began raising the bar on fitness regimens with my lifestyle wellness brand, Total Motion 360, and the incredibly functional tool, TM360. Mountaineering and entrepreneurship are invigorating but pale in comparison to reconnecting with (and later marrying) my high school sweetheart, Rhonda. A source of strength and encouragement during my most harrowing moments, being married to Rhonda is my greatest adventure yet. Together, we look forward to pursuing our dreams all the way.
