Brad Boyd (AKA Tweety Bird), was born and raised in a rural mountain town in Colorado, where he met his wife and started a family at age 20. Not being mature enough for college, Brad got a job as a plumbing apprentice while his wife worked on a bachelor of nursing degree at a small community college. 10 years and 4 kids later, they decided it was time to take a big leap toward realizing a bigger purpose for their lives. Brad's wife had always dreamed of being a heart surgeon but had settled for nursing instead with the news of their first pregnancy a decade earlier. They sold their house and headed for NYC where she was to begin classes at Columbia.
Maybe it was curiosity, maybe it was unrealized desperation for community; whatever it was, he decided to show up to a workout. The rest is history. He began posting 5 to 7 times a week. By the end of summer 2023, he had lost almost 60 lbs and gained so many friendships that he never thought he would experience again.
