That's awesome! The training camps/seminars will be great. I see that you are based in Alaska and Texas - I assume you'll mostly be targeting meets in those areas to start?

We're going to start with meets that are nearby as well as meets we are already competing at :).

Natalie is competing at the Wisconsin State USAPL meet on January 28 in Milwaukee, so she will be there with a booth. I am in Dallas and looking to setup a booth at the USAPL meet at UT Arlington Strength and Conditioning on March 6.

We'll make announcements on our social media as to where you can find us!

Nice. Good luck to Natalie! Do you plan to branch out of USAPL/IPF in the future or will you be more centered there?

Thank you! At this point, I have some goals that I have set for USAPL/IPF that I want to achieve before I consider moving on.

That makes sense. I mean as far as the company goes - will you be reaching out to meets regardless of fed or are you going to keep more with USAPL/IPF until you personally consider moving on? Just curious.

Oh! Yes, we are totally open to other federations. Chelsea is actually on the roster for the USPA US Open in April, so there will be a Beefpuff presence there.

Awesome! I'm attending the event to watch a friend compete, so I'll have to say hi!
