This enterprise and website are not about me, but instead about you (compare the number of "I" references to the "you" references on the other pages), so rather than focusing on who I am, the text that follows sheds insight into why I am the right person to help you reach your fitness goals. Nothing else matters.

Fitness was my life before it ever became my livelihood. I have competed in all types of sports since early childhood, and maintained a strict training regimen as a means to maximize performance and minimize the risk of injury. Being a competitive person by nature, I suppose it was only natural for me to take weightlifting to the level of bodybuilding. Two principal reasons that bodybuilding appeals to me are because it is an individual sport, which I prefer to team sports on the basis of sole accountability, and you (and others) can literally see your results commensurate with the amount of effort expended. Also, I love to lift weights, period.

I compete as a natural bodybuilder, which means no use of steroids to enhance strength and size. It’s important to note that I don’t train strictly to enter contests, but rather to sculpt my body and achieve greater levels of fitness. Every day, I look forward to a high-intensity workout that tests my mental resolve and requires 110% physical effort.

My philosophy on training is that each session is an investment in your future more so than it is time merely spent exercising. In effect, you’re purchasing stock in yourself, and its value only goes up. The returns I have realized on my investment are significant, to say the least: winning the light-heavyweight division in the ABA World Natural Bodybuilding Championships, receiving daily compliments from total strangers, and most importantly, having a high level of self-confidence that goes with being in top physical shape. Oh yeah, I should mention that training has paid immediate dividends on several occasions when I’ve walked away from bad crashes while attempting "big air" jumps on my dirtbike motorcycle.

I work out for two hours a day, six days a week and eat almost the same foods for the same meals on Sunday through Friday. In addition, I totally abstain from drinking soda, energy drinks, and coffee. Some might consider such sacrifices too great, but I gain far more than I give up. For example, my weight is in excess of 200 pounds, yet I have a 29-inch waist and maintain 6% body fat in non-contest condition.

Here are a few credos I live by:

• It’s better to look and feel like a million dollars than to have a million dollars.

• How you live plays a big part in how long you will live.

• Fitness is the fountain of youth.
