The last time JJ was on the show, we discussed his study on fire lunches and their effects on the wildland firefighters’ bodies. Since then, he has been working with Hotshot Crews and other fire resources to set them up with the optimal plan to maintain nutrition and health pre, post, and during the fire season.

After high school, JJ served as an infantryman in the Marine Corps for four years. After his enlistment, he was a wildland firefighter in Arizona for three years, including time on the Globe Hotshots. He is now married, and he and his wife, Josi, are dog mushers in Alaska.

He owns a nutrition coaching business, Frontier Performance Nutrition, where he spends most of his time coaching wildland firefighters, military personnel, and backcountry athletes. He believes that in a job where everything is stacked against our health, it’s up to us to optimize the fundamentals to lead long and healthy lives.
