Background:

I started my work life in the exciting city of Oklahoma City before graduation from OU in 2003. I worked into photojournalism while I was still a student. But, I always had another passion in my life, exercise science. So despite the enthusiasm of my family, I stayed in school another 2 years and received a double major in health and sport sciences. Since then, I've been practicing off and on as a personal trainer in different gyms.

I moved to Austin in late 2004 to take up a position here at KVUE and have never looked back. My experience here has been wonderful. I couldn't ask for a better market or staff to work with.

At the beginning of this year, I had the chance to blend my two passions, photojournalism and fitness. So, now I have the privelege of doing what I love. I've found some very interesting and unique fitness styles out there, and I'm always on the prowl for more. E-mail me sometime, fitness@kvue.com, if you have a fitness question or have a story idea. I welcome all comments. Thanks for visiting!

Hobbies:

In my spare time I like working out, traveling, going to movies, hanging with friends, eating, sleeping, you know...all the fun stuff!

Stay fit!

Jarrod
