My journey began 10 years ago when I weighed nearly 300 lbs and decided to change my health for my family…I know, not how you thought this was going to start being a bourbon focused website haha. Anyway, I lost 75 lbs and completely transformed my body. I put my transformation on YouTube and that video went viral having over 2 million views. I began helping others all over the world improve their health. I grew a fitness YouTube channel, was in Mens Fitness Magazine, and even filmed for the P90X Infomercial. That led me to become a Personal Trainer and running my gym where I get to help others improve their quality of life.
Years later, the passion I found in fitness was the same passion I found in bourbon. I wanted to share that passion with other like-minded people and The Whiskey Tornado was born! The bourbon is fantastic but meeting people in the bourbon community is what it’s all about! Bourbon is the conduit that brings people together!
The past few years have been amazing! In 2021 I was a Regional Finalist in Bardstowns World Top Whiskey Taster Contest, our YouTube channel grew to 4000+ subscribers, I picked our first exclusive barrel picks for our Patreon members, and I have made lifelong friendships with some of the greatest people I’ve ever known!
My 3 rules to live by if you’re
getting into bourbon…
Don’t be a snob
Drink bourbon the way you like it
Just because you like or dislike a bourbon doesn’t mean others need to agree with you. TASTE IS SUBJECTIVE! See rule #1
