Things changed when things changed.

My name is J.D., I am 47 and have been happily married to the same woman for over 28 years. We have 11 children, 4 grandchildren and run several businesses from home.

When I turned 39, I decided to start working out and change my 149 lb., 6' frame into something more respectable. We were on the cusp of turning our dream of entrepreneurship into a reality, money was getting better, so I entered in to the world of gym life & alcohol.

Fast forward 9 years, I gained 36 lbs., originally muscle, but by this time, thanks to alcohol...fat. I had settled on the notion that "I had reached success." I no longer had fitness goals, family goals or life goals in general...and I had my chosen relationship with alcohol to blame.

It was time for a change. A BIG change that required BIG changes.

This is when life began again.

I changed my daily habits, admitted where I was and over the course of 11 months, reached sobriety.

Now my mission is to help other dads achieve their goals, keep their success and live life through sobriety & fitness.
