Locke spent his childhood in rural Ohio wheezing and sleeping propped up in a Lazy Boy chair in the family room due to severe asthma. For 45 years, he was heavily medicated for severe asthma which made sleeping difficult and competing in sports impossible.

After encountering breathwork and practicing the Language of Breath system for a year, he was able to overcome all his asthma symptoms including cold-, allergy-, and exercise-induced asthma. He has been medication free since 2020.

Locke now coaches children and adults with asthma on functional breathing, building lung capacity, and reducing asthma symptoms. Locke helps individuals with asthma to live fuller lives, reduce medication reliance, and complete in sports.

Locke is also a meditator, outdoor enthusiast, and owner of multiple businesses in Colorado.
