My podcast guests are all my friends; and in this case, Lee Throckmorton was simply a friend I hadn't met yet. Lee and I ran into one another at this year's NSCA Tactical Annual Training in Las Vegas and began chatting about health and wellness after the conference.

You're going to love Lee's take on getting on-duty crews involved with health and wellness training!

Lee Throckmorton recently retired from a 30-year career in public safety which began on the oceanfront as a lifeguard for a large volume tourist destination in Southeast Virginia.  In 1997, he began working for a high tempo, urban fire department concurrently with a seasonal lifeguard career.  Lee was able to have a diverse career within the fire service as a paramedic, hazardous material technician, code enforcement, and arson investigator.  His assignment to the Fire Marshal’s Office took Lee to the Police Academy and Field Training Program within the city’s Police Department.  Lee’s final assignment was as a Lieutenant on a busy ladder company at his department’s midtown location.  Lee is the Founder/CEO of Kaizen Groundworks which specializes in Tactical Athlete Preparation for individuals looking to enter into the tactical workspace within public safety.

So what, now what?

Even if you're not an officer or a department administrator, you can have enormous influence on the health and wellness of the department. Get involved!
