Our Unconventional Life
Hi! We’re Craig & Kellie, partners in life since 1986 and partners in reinvention ever since. Our story has taken us from building tech companies in Southern California to raising animals on a farm in Colorado’s Black Forest, from traveling 22,000 miles across the U.S. in a 40-foot RV to leading one of the most dynamic real estate teams in Colorado Springs. Every chapter has taught us that resilience, adaptability, and vision can transform not just businesses or homesteads—but lives.
And yet, for all our adventures, the greatest transformation came later in life. Like so many others, we spent decades battling weight gain, exhaustion, and the slow erosion of energy that comes with middle age. By the time we hit our 50s, we were successful on paper but quietly frustrated with how we felt in our own skin. That’s when we decided our next reinvention wouldn’t be about careers or addresses—it would be about our health.
Together, we lost 110 pounds—not through quick fixes or fad diets, but by embracing sustainable, everyday changes. We swapped late-night excuses for early morning walks, learned the power of meal prepping, tracked our progress with tools like Lose It, and turned movement into a daily ritual instead of a chore. What started as a personal health journey became something much bigger: a shift in mindset, a deepening of our marriage, and a renewal of energy that reminded us of what it feels like to truly live again.
Our background—whether running companies, farming acres of land, or guiding families through major life decisions—gives us a unique lens as coaches. We know what it’s like to juggle full schedules, kids, careers, and responsibilities while still craving better health. We’ve learned that transformation isn’t about perfection; it’s about consistency, mindset, and support.
Now, through Unconventional Lives, we share not just what we achieved but how we did it. We provide coaching that blends real-life experience with practical tools: nutrition strategies, fitness programs, mindset shifts, and accountability structures that fit into busy, modern lives. Our goal isn’t to preach as “experts”—it’s to walk beside you as partners who’ve been where you are, felt what you feel, and discovered what actually works.
If two regular people with hectic lives, aging bodies, and plenty of responsibilities can reclaim their health, so can you. Our mission is to help you cut through the noise of fads and quick fixes, build confidence through small victories, and experience firsthand the freedom that comes when you take control of your health.
This is more than weight loss—it’s about energy, confidence, relationships, and living boldly at any age. We’ve lived it, and now we’re here to help you live it too.
