In Fanny Packs bio he said that he was EH to F3 by his brother's salty. Took a couple times, but the last time he says quote unquote, it's Wednesday, June 10th, 2020. He says, these guys are great, Solid dudes. Me, just okay.

My F3 story is probably somewhat unique. No one person “EH’d” me. Somewhere, in the back of my brain I had heard about F3 probably near its start in Knoxville.

During the pandemic, I decided to do P90X at home. I went through the 90 days and really enjoyed the workouts, how I was beginning to feel, and the new energy I had. However, around the 45 day mark I found myself muting Mr. Tony Horton during the workouts. I knew them almost all by heart and the repetitive nature of them was KILLING ME. Once school started back in the Fall of 2020, I had given up on continuing P90X and wasn’t working out.

However, I found something. When spending the summer of 2020 applying for and interviewing for Administration jobs in Knox County Schools, I noticed that two of the principals I was interviewing with were “mutual friends” with my old buddy Andy, aka “Dimples”. I was able to tell that they were friends because they all “liked” F3Knoxville. I looked it up, poking around on social media and the website, and thought it seemed cool. There was even a location 5 mins from my house! That was in June/July of 2020.

I changed jobs in November of 2020, becoming an Assistant Principal at Carter High School. Because of COVID restrictions and having to be at the school at 7:30 am each morning to take the temperature of the students as they entered the building, I thought that there was no way that I could get to this F3 workout, come home, shower, get ready, and make it to school in time.

This week Dial Up and I took the show on the road recording live from the 4th annual Keystone Convergence. You will hear from men some of you know such as the Nation’s Nantan Dark Helmet, the Nation’s General Red Baron as well as other men who participated. Most shared their “why” which was the theme of the weekend.

It kicked off with a 2nd F event dinner Friday night followed by a 15 mile over night ruck. That took us into a 2 hour beatdown Saturday morning, an inspirational talk given by Dark Helmet and then a community service project.

Live from Harrisburg we give you the 4th annual Keystone Convergence

My name is Sawyer Green. I am from Athens, GA. I am 37 years old. I have enjoyed running since elementary school along with basketball. I was raised in church and Christian school, but it was more legalistic than anything. That outlook and experience led me to being emotionally searching for more. Drugs and alcohol became the solution for me starting junior year of high school. In 2014 I went through a program called No Longer Bound. 1 year long treatment for males over 18 years old. Jesus used that place to expose my belief system and so much more. He pursued me on an intimate level, and my life has been better ever since. I have not used a drug since 12/7/2014, but alcohol has popped up a few times in rough seasons of my life.

Join us as we talk with David Kelly, Bing from the Suncoast to his F3 mates, drops in to discuss planting shovel flags and the impact we can have.

Steve grew up in Brentwood, graduated from Brentwood High and earned his degree in Finance from Auburn University. After spending 20 years in the world of healthcare consulting, he decided to retire from corporate life and look for ways to give back to the community that he loves. In 2015, he started 4:13 Strong as a way to encourage and mentor young men in the Nashville community that are looking for an opportunity to change their life. He is married to Missy, his high school sweetheart, and together they are the proud parents of three sons, TJ, Wilson and Jack. Steve and his family are partners at Rolling Hills Community Church.

My name is Phelix Obuya (F3 Safari)though some pax call me "The Beast" because they think that I am a strong person. Born and raised in Kenya 48 years ago but still runs 21Km three times a week. Before I joined F3, I couldn't run even a half a mile but I thank God for joining this wonderful outdoor group and it is the reason I brought this idea to Kenya. The late Chaplain Steven Hubbard and I thought through and initiated a Foundation and got it incorporated in Kenya in 2022. Damien's Hope Foundation as it is called follows the lifestyle of the late St. Damien of Molokai, a Belgium Catholic priest who died while serving lepers. We therefore are dedicated to work with the "modern day lepers" who are needy and aren't capable of meeting their basic needs in the society.

Jorge Rocca also known as Dreamboat in the gloom joins us to speak on his running experience. He comes from Cuba and is now concurring every state in the union in marathons. He ran 12 this past year along with a couple ultras.
