Television
Favorite series of all time: SEINFELD! Other past and present favorites include X-Files, Six Feet Under, Sopranos, Nip Tuck, Rescue Me, The Shield, Two and a Half Men, 24, and my current fav, ENTOURAGE!
Books
Wish I had more time to read entertaining books, but most of the time I am busy reading texts on nutrition, training, sports supplementation, performance enhancing drugs, anatomy, kinesiology, and physiology. And of course my favorite book is the one I just co-wrote, called BUILDING THE PERFECT BEAST...Naturally!
Heroes
First on this list would have to be GOD. He blessed me with LIFE. Next is Mom and Dad, who have loved me, cared for me, and supported me since day one. Then I have my friends Mitchell, Harold, and Sean. I grew up with these guys and no matter what they have always been there when I need them. And last, but certainly not least is one Mikel Kilgour. A man that has become a guiding light in my life. A man that sits on my shoulder.
I have been lifting weights for about 20 years, and have been a trainer, contest prep (bodybuilding/fitness/figure) and strength coach for approximately 15 of them. I have also worked specifically in the sports supplement industry for 5 years (with such major companies as ALRI, EPIC, VPX and NUTRABOLICS...and now with All American EFX!) and owned a gym called BodyFX from 1998-2003. When I began training I weighed only 125 lbs at a height of 5'11" but eventually reached 273 lbs as my top weight...although now, my offseason weight is closer to 245 lbs. Oh yeah, and I have been DRUG FREE FOR LIFE!
I have been competing in bodybuilding contests since 1989, and earned two Natural Mr. Eastern USA titles, and eventually earned a pro card while still in my
20's in an organization called the ANPPC (All Natural Power and Physique Committee). However, that organization disbanded many years ago, allowing me to pursue pro status in other natural organizations. I now have duel pro bodybuilder status in both the NGA and IFPA. In 2009 I will represent both of these associations on the competition stage!
About 7 years ago I developed a training system called POWER-REP RANGE-SHOCK, that I began using on myself and a few very advanced clients (athletes and bodybuilders) in order to test it out. Results were so amazing that I then introduced it on the Internet, and now thousands upon thousands of people are using it all over the world. It is featured on several discussion boards and also has been written about in Musclemag International and Ironman magazine. I have recently introduced a new training program to the fitness world called Fiber Damage/Fiber Saturation. FD/FS will revolutionize the way people build muscle!
Right now I split my time as a personal trainer/strength coach, contest prep coach, fitness model and writer. I have written about 35 published articles for Musclemag, Human Muscle Performance, IronMan and more. I am also a monthly columnist for both IronMan ("Muscle In Sites" and "Net Results") and Muscular Deveopment ("No Juice Bodybuilding"). Recently I was hired by AAEFX Labs to be a sponsored athlete (aka Natural Freak)and head of Internet Marketing. We plan on bringing AAEFX to the absolute forefront of the industry!!
In July of 08 I shot my first magazine cover for Ironman and finished filming a DVD and writing an E-book about my PRRS method of training. Both will be available through Iron Man magazine and homegymwarehouse.com.
In 2006 I co-authored a book with with Author L Rea!It is entitled "Building the Perfect Beast...Naturally," and it is one of the most valuable texts that any aspiring bodybuilder or athlete can get his hands on!
