Brian Morris's Blog

Currently, I hold certifications as a personal trainer with two nationally respected associations and have tested into MENSA international. Working as a plant pathologist in the world-renowned Rizzo Lab at UC Davis, as a Hydrogeologist in the California central valley, a personal assistant in Hollywood, and a Nutrition Specialist at my most recent occupation has broadened my perspective. I would like to use these experiences to be a life coach and mentor to others as I find my own purpose.
