My name is Dr. Aaron Oberst,

and I am the innovator and developer of the Dr. Drill Instructor Program. The course was born out of my combined knowledge and experience as a United States Marine grunt turned Doctor of Chiropractic. It is hardly possible for anyone who has claimed the title, 'Marine' to refrain from superimposing the values, integrity and work ethic of the USMC, onto every situation throughout the rest of their life. My story is exactly that: in serving four years as a Marine rifleman in the 1990's, I had a powerful experience that would set precedent for all events that followed. So it was upon my Honorable Discharge that I embarked on a mission to educate myself, comprehensively, in the ways of health. This path lead me to Chiropractic, a field of physical medicine which is nothing short of extraordinary in its ability to restore health, naturally.

As the Marine in me clashed with healthcare and the two disciplines melded, I took notice of all the preventable sickness in America - chronic disease was then and presently remains, rampant. It was from this realization, that I launched a lifestyle change initiative which would evolve continuously over time, becoming something quite special. In a very cruel and unforgiving world, we have changed lives and inspired the public to fight back against disease of all types, be it physical, mental and in many cases, even spiritual, as DDIP fosters community and a strong reliance on one's fellow human being.

What distinguishes DDIP particularly, is the reality that our instructors are mere facilitators - it is the people who make DDIP what it is. The people are the heart and soul of this organization. If you are willing to show up and put in the hardest work, maybe you can become part of our team.

Semper fidelis,

Dr. Drill
