 Nick Hall is an Army veteran passionate about helping others find and understand their God-given potential. As an active-duty soldier, Nick became keenly aware of the looming relationship between the chronic stressors of military service and the subsequent utilization of unhealthy coping strategies such as alcohol and drug use.

Nick believes every person is blessed with unique abilities, and physical training is an essential tool in the process of uncovering them.
