At 20 years old, Bret's natural love for the ocean and itch for adventure led him to join the Coast Guard (CG) to become a helicopter rescue swimmer.

His last 4 years in the CG, Bret was a helicopter rescue swimmer instructor at the AST “A” School. Bret has spent the past 10 years as a student of the human body to include strength and conditioning, rehabilitation, studying optimal movement patterns, speed, power, mobility, nutrition, sleep, and regeneration. He now owns a gym in Asheville, NC, where he resides with his wife and two kids.
