As missionary kids, we both grew up in Africa. Felicia on the west side of the continent (Nigeria) and Scott on the east side (Kenya and Burundi).
We both walked separate journeys through the majority of our life. Felicia worked hard and achieved her PhD . She then worked as professor for many years before opening her own super successful wellness company providing services up and down California. Along the way she married and adopted two children from Ethiopia. Scott married young, had two children and built a successful software engineering and consulting business. We both ended up in Fresno, California.
I, Scott, am writing this portion of our site, so I get to brag a bit about my love. Felicia checks all the boxes for me. Among other things, she is energetic, smart, fun, loyal, active and beautiful (inside and out). Oh, did I mention that Felicia is a top athlete often competing at the national and international level? I am one lucky guy!
We met rather randomly training for triathlons. We swam in the same lake and happened to strike up a conversation one day. We were both amazed that we both grew up in Africa and went to boarding school. We become instant friends and a few years later, feel in love and decided to finish our journey in this life together.
We believe in the innate connection between humankind and the Earth. As Carl Sagan once said and science proves, "We are made of star stuff". We are born from Earth and need full immersion in it as often and as long as we can to be fulfilled beings. We work to have the things we need and do the things we love. For us, we love creating memories, connecting with people and nature, (drinking good wine), having novel experiences and staying healthy in mind, body and soul. To that end, we strive to create unforgettable outdoor experiences for ourselves and our friends.
We have been active all of our lives. As with most everything, fitness is a relative term. At times in our lives, our fitness was extremely high, while during other seasons, it may have been less. What doesn’t change is our passion to be outside and active, to have energy and a level of fitness that allows us to engage in the activities we love to do!
Our passion for fitness mirrors our passion for wellness. Being well is more than physical health. It encompasses our social, spiritual and mental wellbeing. Making a commitment each day to choose a healthy lifestyle leads to a passion of wellness and a way of life.
Everyone is an athlete, if you choose to be one. It doesn’t matter if you are just getting off the couch or a professional athlete, we are committed to meet you where you are. Each of us has experienced the euphoria of victory and the despair of defeat. Our goal is to help you achieve your goals, one step at a time, one choice at a time. With us, you will never find judgement, only encouragement and support as we journey through life together.
