Carl W. Horne, Jr. began his professional career when auditioning for a position with a professional modern ballet ensemble in Denver, Colorado. Becoming a professional dancer with the Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble was the beginning for Carl and his love of the human body.

                After a short stint with the company, Carl moved to California to embark on a dream of working with and mending the body. He first studied health sciences at California State Dominguez Hills and then began working as a clinically trained physical therapy technician for the Los Angeles Sports Medicine Clinic in Marina Del Rey, California. After three years of full time clinical training, Carl was certified by the Board of Therapeutic Surgeons of the Los Angeles sports medicine clinic as a Level 4 Technician, the highest level possible within the clinic.

               Carl excelled at such an astounding rate, learning the principles and methods of physical therapy, that he acquired a mentorship under several master therapists at the clinic. This experience brought him to the attention of the Los Angeles Clippers, a National Basketball Association (NBA) franchise. There he became the team's strength and conditioning coach as well as its rehabilitation specialist. Prior to Carl's association with the team, the Clippers were among the leagues worst in regard to the number of injured athletes.

               With Carl's expertise, the number of injures were reduced and the franchise became among the leagues best, according to injury reports. Mr. Horne resigned from the Los Angeles Clippers in 1994 to begin yet another facet of his dream, building his own business. In 2 One, Inc., an eclectic health institute in Scottsdale, Arizona was created with the idea that Carl could administer individualized attention to his professional clients injures and health and fitness needs.

              It wasn't long until he realized that this kind of personalized service was not only relevant to professional athletes, but to others including student athletes, business professionals and any other person interested in increasing their health and wellness. In 2 One has evolved into an innovative, eclectic health institute which seeks to provide a variety of professional services to people of all walks of life. In addition to Carl's various career skills, he is a martial arts instructor and is a certified Black Belt in the Korean style of Taekwondo.

              He has also co-authored a popular fitness book, "Strengthen the NBA Way" and has produced several fitness articles for a variety of sports and health magazines. Professional memberships and affiliations:
