I am very excited to announce that I will be bringing my love of writing (and my twisted sense of humor) to Webb Weekly in the form of my new column, ‘Living Well.’ This column will cover topics such as health, lifestyle, family, and whatever else I am in the mood to write about. Living Well will not necessarily be about getting runway-model thin or jacking your biceps for the cover of Muscle & Fitness — though if that is what you are into that is certainly OK.

Our time here on earth is very brief, and therefore should be lived with zeal, energy, and immense joy. I want you to be the best version of yourself and to have an abundant life. Thus, I will do my best to bring you articles that will enlighten as well as entertain you.

A little about myself: I hold a bachelor’s degree in Health Science, a master’s degree in Exercise Science, and two fitness certifications. I have been in the fitness and wellness fields for well over two decades, where I have managed or owned fitness facilities, and have been a personal trainer. I am currently working full-time in wellness for a regional health system, and personal training part-time, as I still love the individual interaction after all of this time. I also have a background in competitive powerlifting, though I have been retired for quite some time.

I have always loved writing and, much to my high school teachers’ exasperation, would write stories about characters I would create. This would be OK in English class — except I was in Physics. In addition to writing, I enjoy spending time with my wife and five children, lifting weights, craft beer, and eating really good hamburgers. So, expect articles on those topics as well. As you will see, I will often try — and sometimes fail — to interject humor into my articles. At least I think it’s humor.

In addition to the many articles I have written over the years, I have written two books on strength training, Kettlebell Training for Athletes and Kettlebell Training for Strength and Power, that are both for sale on Amazon (shameless plug). I also have a passion for writing fiction and will keep you posted on anything I have coming out.

Last, I welcome questions though I am not a doctor, so send medical inquiries to your family physician. If you do have a general fitness or wellness question, feel free to send me a message. I can be reached at dbfitnesslab@gmail.com.
I look forward to writing for you, and I hope you have as much fun reading my articles as I have writing them.

Yours in health.

Coming Soon!
