My wife and son were looking for a personal trainer and Ken was referred to me from someone I trust. It wasn't long before I realized that Ken was special. He's passionate about health and fitness and I like how he was hungry for new information and research. During workouts he would talk about why certain things were important and why. The exercise routines he prescribed were challenging and both my wife and son were very pleased with the results.

Most importantly, Ken is 60 years old and he walks the holistic fitness talk. I worked out with him the other day and I could barely keep up and I'm 16 years younger and in decent shape. He has a good understanding of recovery and how our overall wellbeing affects the nervous system, health, performance and more. I believe fitness education is important for everyone because impacts not only in our personal health and life experience in a positive way but also for the world as well. When we are well we are able to contribute to making the world and those around us better too. My hope is that you'll find this podcast as informative and inspiring as I did!

Best Wishes,
