Today on the podcast, I have had the pleasure of talking with Danny Vega. Danny is a super interesting dude!

Danny lives in Florida, USA. Danny received his bachelor’s degree in political science from Columbia University in 2004, where he played football and was a three-time Dean’s List recipient. Danny earned his Master’s of Science in Human Performance from the University of Florida. He worked with the national championship men’s basketball team and the tennis and golf programs. He then became the Strength & Conditioning Coordinator for VCU basketball, helping the Rams to the 2007 conference champions and making it to the second round of the NCAA tournament. As a raw powerlifter, he met the bests of 640 squat in wraps (610 raw), 400 bench, and 700 deadlifts. In addition, he has competed in indoor rowing, where he has personal bests of 1:19.9 in the 500 meters, 14.5 in the 100 meters, and 389 meters in the minute for distance—all 3 of them are Florida state records.

So you see, he is a strong athlete and has competed in competitive sports such as Crossfit, powerlifting, half marathons, and now rowing.
