Cory Jobgen – Owner
Cory has more than 20 years of experience as a business owner, with much of his background in the construction industry. After dealing with ongoing back issues, he began looking for natural ways to improve his strength, mobility, and long-term health. During that search, he came across OsteoStrong and quickly recognized how well its approach aligned with what he was looking for personally and professionally. After meeting the previous owners, Herb and Shelley Ebel, Cory saw an opportunity to build on the strong foundation they had established and continue providing the Black Hills community with a unique approach to bone health, strength, balance, and healthy aging.
