This is the virtual home of Dustin Rippetoe. ​Devoted father. Mediocre husband (with 2 decades of experience) and kidney transplant recipient.
​
Understandably, a few of the above tend to shift one's priorities. This started with selling a family business of 20+ years and closing down my long-term side avocation as a strength and conditioning coach and fitness certification instructor to focus on my Oklahoma Christian University MBA studies. I finished many an MBA paper in the dialysis chair. 
A stranger (no longer true) choosing to donate her kidney saved me from the purgatory of dialysis. This freedom has allowed me to ask the next big question. During this time, I also widened my coaching to encompass all aspects of human performance

I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma with my wife, son and too many pets. Lifting heavy things is still a favored pastime. Additionally, I enjoy tabletop strategy games especially since my son is getting old enough to indulge me as an opponent.
