Tom shares his down to earth methods for becoming healthier, from his decades of experience studying martial arts and exercise science.

He has been involved in martial arts and conditioning since 1972. Since then he has developed a vast knowledge of physical fitness from hundreds of hours attending seminars, training sessions, and ‘backyard’ workouts, as well as spending time with many martial arts legends.

He also credits his methodology to the incredibly gifted training partners who have influenced him from a variety of training backgrounds, including: Exercise Physiologists, Airborne Rangers, Bounty Hunters, Boxing Trainers and Coast Guard Rescue Divers.

Tom was also one of the first American trainers to become RKC certified for Kettlebell Training in the US, and is quoted twice in “The Naked Warrior” by Pavel Tsatsouline, the founder of RKC. Tom has also done workshops with Kettlebell legends Mike Mahler and Steve Cotter.
