And I own a supplements company.
I played the violin.
And I just basically kind of shifted and did a little bit more of a lifestyle design approach to work from home and to, like I said, unschool my sons and be kind of a fully present father and husband.
I was president of the chess club.
I was a total fantasy fiction nerd.
I loved to read and write and hang out alone in my bedroom and hike the hills back behind my house.
When I was 14, I discovered the sport of tennis, and I began to play tennis quite a bit.
So that's what I do now, starting off from backwoods of Idaho.
And interestingly enough, now I'm building a farm in Idaho that will be done next summer.
I got so interested in
physical culture and nutrition and exercise related to the sport of tennis that I wound up going to college and studying exercise physiology and biomechanics.
So I'll be moving back over with all the rednecks and the hicks.
I got a master's degree.
I got accepted to a handful of medical schools, opted not to go to medical school and went into the exercise industry instead and have been in that industry ever since, starting off with brick and mortar and
personal training gyms and studios.
And then when my sons were born 15 years ago, I decided to change my model.
I moved into the house.
Well, it's funny because you're right, it gets thrown around a lot.
Much to the chagrin and annoyance of my wife, I'm at home all day long now.
And now I think you're a biohacker if you put some butter in your morning tea or coffee or hold your breath while you're exercising.
