I grew up camping, I love to do it. Give me a tent with a sleeping bag and I’m happy as punch. There is just something about the fresh mountain air and the landscape that keeps me going back for more. I don’t even mind the bugs, smelly latrines, or possibility of wild life encounters. You can catch me walking to the bathroom in the middle of the night like it’s no big deal. But just so you all know, Chad is deathly afraid of bears.

The More Than Macros Retreat was a big gamble for us.  We were already stretched very thin.  Krista and I were drowning in client check-ins.  Balancing work life with family life was becoming more and more difficult.  I had to quit my CrossFit coaching job.  We knew we’d have to step out of our comfort zone like never before, expand our staff, and hope and pray that people actually came.  I wish I could tell you my faith never wavered, but ticket sales were slow going.  Our itinerary changed about 37 times, and then when our venue fell through, I questioned whether or not this retreat was what God had called me to do.
