The story

For five years, he struggled to keep his head above water as he tried to teach himself how to hire and manage staff and lead a company. In 2017, Kenny realized he needed some guidance. He’d heard about Two-Brain Business through a Facebook group, and he knew it was the right fit as soon as he finished his free call with a mentor.

Kenny and wife Jenn have also established themselves as leaders in their small community by operating a thriving gym in Sandpoint, Idaho. The gym’s mission is to use fitness and nutrition to change lives and give people the tools and confidence they need to fulfill their dreams.

Kenny is one of Two-Brain’s Tinker coaches, and he loves to help people recognize and embrace their enormous potential. The mindset shift to become a Tinker can be very challenging, and he loves working with clients through this phase.

Kenny loves helping people focus on two things in the Tinker Phase. One is looking forward in order to establish a path to real wealth: what to do with money, how to strategize on functional retirement and a legacy, and how to use the resources available to Tinkers. The second is looking backward and helping to create rewarding, long-term careers for the staff who support the Tinker.

“Seeing others figure things out is way more powerful to me than me figuring them out. Being able to do this on the business side of things has been awesome.”

“I firmly believe that the more successful gyms we have out there, the better we’ll all be,” he said. “Helping to make that happen is an incredible opportunity.”

In addition to his roles as the CEO of Sandpoint Strength and a Two-Brain mentor, Kenny is father to a son and an avid outdoorsman who loves to use his fitness, and the freedom his successful business affords him, to hike, swim, ski and hunt.
