Hello, and welcome to our little website.  First off, I’d like to introduce the various folks that contribute to this website, to include, webmaster, editor, publisher, graphics designer, site reviewer, product reviewer, and marketing guru, on site analyst, janitor, executive assistant (coffee getter), proofreader, and final sayer in all things site related – me!

I am Hyo, father of the darling, little troublemaker to the left, Sophia.

People ask me about 3 things – working out, wines, and networking.  Interesting, those are the 3 areas where I have a yellow belt going on ninth degree black belt.  The saying in Tae Kwon Do was that a yellow belt’s biggest challenge was in not getting himself killed out in the real world.  A little knowledge is oh so dangerous.

But, with that monster size warning sign blinking over my head, I thought I’d share what I know to a larger group.  Isn’t the internet great?  20, or 10 years ago, a schmuck like me lived in a little reality of my own, dispensing what little knowledge I had to a tiny group of acolytes.  But now, with blogging, it’s all out there.

So, I decided to start blogging about what I know and what I am passionate about.  I am also really into yakking about politics but that little personal blog will come later, maybe.  I am absolutely a world class wine geek.  And I have started that blog but nothing is actually in it.  I actually don’t know when I’m going to get that going.

And then, I begin working out again (as chronicled and reasoned in a number of different sections on this site).  Initially, it was running, pull-ups, push-ups, etc.  As I spent more time working out, I found myself looking at a lot of website.  And I decided I could put together a “better” site than some of what was out there.

So began Smart Weight Gain.

I took a lot of the same basic format from my job help blog and have spent a spare moment here and there to make it informative and useful.

Having a full time job, I find that blogging two sites is about the limit of what I can do.  I want to help folks and I want to be a source of good and actually useable information.  I have no interest in blogging for the sake of blogging.  I have my bad days, but if I have to force myself to sit in front of a computer and type something, anything – well, that’s not happening.

As for whether I know what I am talking about or not – well – to state the obvious, that is for you to decide.

As I help my friends at work and in networking, I just thought I’d share some of that with you.

I know this, after 35 plus years of exercising, dieting, and learning; I’ve become a pretty good student of what works and what does not.  I’ll be sharing that with you.  What I’ve learned in army from boxing to tae kwon do to weightlifting, I’ll be sharing with you.

To your health,
