The word most often used to describe Sean is PASSIONate! This passion comes from a lifelong love of fitness and health and a dream to revolutionize the way THE WORLD thinks about health. Recognizing the failures of health care, Sean promotes the concept of self care. In order to regain and/or maintain superb health, we must become more responsible for ourselves.
After graduating from San Diego State University in 2001 with a Bachelor’s in Kinesiology (emph: fitness, nutrition, and health), Sean began his journey as a certified personal trainer. Despite his extensive education in health, he was met with much failure as clients got heavier and sicker. Client programs consisted of endless cardio and the horrific Food Guide Pyramid. Rather than accept defeat, Sean took his failures as an opportunity for growth. He has since spent thousands of hours educating himself on the many truths that eluded him throughout his formal education, often joking that he got his Master’s from Amazon.com.
In 2006, Sean recognized the limitations of sharing his vast knowledge one person at a time. To reach a larger audience, he started up a YouTube channel called The Food Dude, on which he posted easy-to-comprehend educational videos for anyone who would watch. After giving up on two YouTube channels, Sean decided to start the Underground Wellness channel to see where it would take him and how many people he could serve. Today, UW is the Most Subscribed Health and Wellness channel in the world with over 20,000 subscribers and growing fast!
In addition to the UW video channel, Sean hosts one of the most downloaded radio shows on the Internet. On UW Radio, he has interviewed a who’s-who of the health and fitness industry, including Sally Fallon, Paul Chek, William Wolcott, Nina Plank, and Julia Ross.
Sean is extremely excited to launch his latest project UWTV, a daily video blog complete with cooking, workouts, rants, educational videos, and fan contributions. The goal is to reach 1 million people by 2012.
When he’s not doing videos or radio, Sean works with clients to uncover the root cause(s) of their health challenges. He works by phone with individuals from all over the world by phone/Skype from his home office and in-person at High Voltage Fitness in La Jolla, CA.
