Guest Bio:

Where there is a will, there is a way. Live to serve.

I started without a clue, and squat stands were welded together out of scrap by the KofC in Osgood, IN. We’re currently building a 31 platforms indoor practice facility. We have 7 periods a day, 90 students per period during the school day. We’ve produced several World Team kids, NCAA champions, NCAA National POTY, Pan Am/ World medalists. My proudest achievement as a professional strength and conditioning educator is having 3 former athletes selected to coach for Coach Moffitt.
