About Me and "Fitness and You"



I would like to provide you with some background information about me. I have spent my entire adult life being health conscious. My father was a victim of heart disease because he did not realize the importance of a healthy diet and exercise. I swore that I would never fall into that trap and began my education in fitness.



While in the Navy I was a Hospital Corpsman and health was my business. Naturally since I was in pretty good shape I volunteered for assignment with the United States Marines at Camp LeJeune NC. In 1986 I screened for and was accepted into the training for 2D Reconnaissance Battalion. I was a Recon Corpsman for a good portion of my Navy career. I had three combat tours in my 20 year career. (Desert Storm, Somalia, Operation Iraqi Freedom)



I also volunteered and was accepted to the Surface Force Independent Duty Corpsman School. This extensive school certified me to provide medical care independent of a doctor while assigned for three years on a Naval Ship with the crew of around 350 Sailors. I was the "Doc" on the USS TICONDEROGA.



I was always assigned the physical fitness Coordinator for the command. The facts I learned through my own self education and fundamental elements of physical fitness from the Marines helped me train young men and women to be combat ready. Not only were they physically fit, but they were very confident.

My mission for this website is not to make you combat ready. But I would like to share tricks that I have learned to stay motivated so that you stay in a routine of exercise. My commitment towards health and fitness were the drivers to develop Fitness and You Inc and www.yourfitnesspal.com

I would like to help a many as I can through this website to maintain a healthier lifestyle so quality of life improves. Healthcare costs rise everyday. The best way to combat the costs are to get physically fit and stay healthy.
