About me: First and foremost, I am the father of an AMAZING 12-year old named Austin. After years of hoping and praying for the best and making the most of our limited time together, Austin and I are finally reunited on a full-time basis. He is enrolled in a very challenging school and is doing quite well. Although his education and development is first and foremost, we always make time to go out and do things together … I usually run or lift weights while he plays full-court basketball. Best of all, he and Laura get along very well … even kinda scary how they both share similar tastes in humor and other interests … LOL. Who is this Laura? In a nutshell, she is most amazing, loving, understanding, and supportive woman I have ever met. Although I am a very driven individual, Laura is truly the other half that keeps me from imploding. I can't count the number of times that I have come home after self-annihilation in the gym and without fail she has always been there each and every time for me to lay my head on. I am complete and all is well!
I am also a two-time NPC national bodybuilding champion and IFBB professional. If you peruse muscle & fitness magazines, then you have definitely seen and/or read about me. Yes, I am "that guy" who gained almost 60 pounds of solid competitve muscle in four short years ... from being a 147 pound USA lightweight champion in 2002, to a 176 pound middleweight national champion in 2004, to a 210 pound IFBB professional in 2006. I love the sport of bodybuilding, but consider it purely a hobby as I do have a life and career outside of the sport. I made the decision to retire from the IFBB and professional bodybuilding at the end of the 2007 season and am now living and loving life to the fullest … without hypocrisy, guilt, nor shame. NO AMOUNT OF FORTUNE OR FAME WILL BE MORE PRECIOUS THAN MY LIFE!
Professionally, aside from being a personal trainer extraordinaire, I am a senior writer for an up-and-coming magazine named "Status Fitness". My goal as a writer is to share my own experiences and knowledge with others to give a "real" perspective on how to become better and healthier athletes/people. I recently ended my search for a supplement company to join that share the same values of quality and integrity that I uphold. I will be working very closely with Magnum Nutraceuticals to not only produce and promote quality products, but also to alter the negative perceptions of the neutraceutical industry as a whole.
In October of 2008, I joined an awesome sales team at The Vitamin Shoppe in Huntington Beach, CA. I thoroughly enjoy helping others achieve health & wellness, and working at the store increases my ability to do so exponentially. If you are ever in the area, stop by and say "Hello!". "No," I don't own it, and "Yes," I just work there … LOL.
Who I'd like to meet: People from all over the world who possess a zeal for life and health. As much I enjoy inspiring and motivating others to become better, I too enjoy being inspired and motivated. If I have never met you and you have your setting on "private", you are definitely NOT getting in so don't bother unless you state your case in a message. I do not not have time for bullshit so please if you don't have an interest in fitness ... STAY THE F@#K OUT!
