My history:

I grew up as a fat kid, having to put up with the teasing and alienation. I put up with it because I didn’t know anything else. Later, in my 1st year of college, my dad passed away followed by my younger sister at 21 years old… Both due to heart attacks.

I guess that’s what you call genetic predisposition. Well, that was my wake-up call.

I changed my nutrition and started exercising. After losing 70 pounds, I started teaching aerobics, spinning classes and lifting weights. About that time certifying bodies were cropping up, teaching people how to become personal trainers. I got as many certifications as I could to become the best trainer I could be.

I graduated college as an engineer and began working as both an engineer and a certified personal trainer. To this day, I still do both and continue to help people change their lives as a certified personal trainer.

At the time of this writing, I have over 38 years of training experience. I love engineering but I also love helping people change their lives and I can’t see quitting either one ever!

My favorite client story is:

I had a client that after several weeks of training called me with an emergency question… She wanted to know if she should go to the emergency room because she had a protrusion on the left side of her body, under her arm.

I then asked her if there was a similar one on her right side. She said “Oh my God yes!” I said congratulations… You have lost enough weight to finally see your ribs.

She then cried, She was so happy because for 30 years she could not see or feel them.
