About TheFitnessNerd:

Leader of the Greatest Interactive Marketing Team on the Planet by day; exercise, diet, health and fitness nerd by night.  I also run a popular fitness website, Answer Fitness and am a Top Contributor in the Diet and Fitness category on Yahoo Answers.

I have two bachelor degrees from the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor in Philosophy and History (with Honors), an A.A. in Humanities (Magna Cum Laude) and am a certified personal trainer (which I do in my "free" time.) My day job is leading an 18 person interactive marketing team for a major online mortgage company.

Interests include WWII and Military History, Jazz music (especially BeBop and big band like Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus and Dizzy Gillespie), Roots and Progressive/Texas Country (Lucinda Williams, James McMurtry and Ray Wylie Hubbard) and Old Skool HipHop (talkin' "Tribe Called Quest" and "Digital Underground.")

I'm neither "dumb" nor "a jock" even though people assume this because I value keeping my body in shape as much as my mind.
