Meet John

I’m a 50-year-old professional geek (I work in IT).  On my own time, I am also a life coach and a forest therapy guide.  I guess you can say I live an active life, but since the end of 2017, not so much of a physically active life, and it has taken its toll.  My general focus when it comes to personal transformation has been that of Mastery. It has helped me stick to my study and practice of things like learning Japanese and German, and playing the piano, and I know that concept will be important in getting me through this fitness challenge.

I work in NYC and live in the scenic Hudson Valley with my two cats, Wilhelm and Jacob. (2020 update – 3rd cat Sissy, an adorable rescue!)  In my spare time, I volunteer for Animal Rescue Foundation and also advocate for wellness and self-care via various side projects.
