Matt Mosman - Chief Endurance Officer, MS, CISSN, CSCS - Part Scientist, Part Endurance Freak, & Dead Serious About Bringing You High-Quality Endurance Supplements To Help You Perform Your Best.
My endurance journey all started when my Dad told me about the 2-mile record at Kuemper High School in Carroll Iowa. I had never run a step in my life up until that point but at that exact moment, I knew I wanted it. After 2 years of 100 plus mile weeks pounding the pavement and hours of sweat, blood, and tears I just didn't beat the record...I crushed it! This was a defining moment for me as from that point on I knew endurance exercise would play a huge role in my life and career.
After high school, I ran Division I cross country and studied exercise science at Creighton University. I wasn't the best but I was good enough to win a few meets and finish in the top 10 in most races. More importantly, during my time at Creighton, I had the chance to work and do research with one of the leading supplement experts in the world, Dr. Jeff Stout. As an athlete I wanted to do everything I could to reach my maximum potential and supplementation with research proven ingredients played a big part in getting me there.
After Creighton, I went on to complete my Masters in Exercise Physiology while competing as a semi-pro runner for a well known running shoe company. It was also during this time I obtained a certified sports nutritionist certification (CISSN) and strength and conditioning certification (CSCS). This was all in preparation to land my dream job working as a research scientist within the sports nutrition/supplement industry.
Before starting EndurElite, I worked with the big boys in the supplement industry for 15 years mostly designing and doing research on supplements designed for the bodybuilding crowd. But one day during a run I had a revelation. I realized that there are all these companies out there that design well-made supplements for meatheads but none for endurance athletes.
