As a seasoned entrepreneur with 16 years under his belt, Bledsoe has dedicated my career to guiding others to enjoy physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. His journey began after serving in the Navy, where I embraced the mission to optimize my own health, relationships and discover a greater purpose.

My passion extends beyond profession; as a health maximalist, I thrive in the great outdoors, whether it's hunting, swimming, backpacking, or immersing myself in the vibrant energy of music festivals. My life is a testament to the belief that true growth and fulfillment come from embracing adventure, direct communication, and a principled approach to decision making. These values guide both my personal and professional life, driving a relentless pursuit of health maximization and continuous improvement.

I'm committed to empowering veterans to rediscover their purpose, establishing a firm footing in society while maintaining the spirit of adventure that defines us. With a professional yet direct approach, I strive to cut through the noice, offering honest, actionable guidance that respects the unique journey of each individual. For those looking to reclaim their health and chart a new path forward, I stand ready to light the way.
