The 4 "W's" of this blog

WHO-

Very simply, I am Travis.  I am husband, a father of 3 kids and recently we bought a new puppy.  I have a passion for exercise/training and have a home gym I am very proud of.  Mostly I have been in school the last 2 years but I have also managed to start a successful CrossFit gym at Utah State University while working at another gym, CVSC.  I like to lift heavy, eat large, and help others to do the same--minus the eating large of course:)  I have an AS degree (2008) in general education from Colorado Tech, a BS (2012) in Health and Physical Education from Utah State, and I have just (very sucessfully:) completed my first semester of PTA school.

WHY- I have learned a few things throughout my schooling and thought I could give advice/help to others who going into this field or who may be thinking about it. I wanted more than a couple of sterile, one dimensional youtube videos to show and tell me about what to expect from school and work. Chronicling my experiences with different classes and life situations seems like a good idea to help out those, who like me, find a severe lack of real information about this important and fast growing line of work.

WHERE- Provo College--Provo, Utah.

a.k.a. Happy Valley


WHEN-

May 2014--I think about this date more than is normal the closer it gets.  17 months until I'm really done with my formal education!!!
