A Moment Of Gratitude

Taking a moment of grattitiude and realizing just how blessed I've been in my career. For a few decades now I've had the honor and privelage of being a professional in the strength and fitness, nutrition, health and wellness, performance and physique field. In that time I've been blessed to be able to help literally 100's of people; from teenagers to folks in their 90's, and from the average person looking to drop some fat and get fit and healthy to amazing athletes looking ...to crush it in their sports; achieve all of their goals and dreams. Then move on to achieveing even bigger goals and dreams. It's amazing to not only love and be passionate about what you do, but to also be able to help so many become helathier, more fit and truly live a life of adventure. So I have to thank all of my clients; past, present and future for the adventure we've all been on and for letting my help you all achieve your dreams. The last few decades have been amazing and I'm looking incredibly forward to the many decades to come, training and coaching you all to achieve more. Love for all of you! Now, go train hard and create your greatness!!

Let's see:

Let's see: Diagnosed as a child with a degenerative bone disease in the hips and told I wouldn't be walking as an adult. Yep, that happened. Then, broke 3 vertebrae in the back and tore apart all of the muscle, tendons and ligaments on the right side of my body from the neck to the hips. Told I'd always be weak as a kitten, never be able to move my right side very well, and that I'd live in constant pain for the rest of my life. Yep, that happened. At anytime thought about let...ting those things limit my life or what I was capable of becoming or doing, using them as an excuse to not train or reach for the stars, having those things keep me from my dreams or from becoming the best that I can. Never, Nope, Not going to happen. Couldn't even imagine dreaming of that SKATA! You only limits are in your mind. And sometimes it pays huge dividends to tell your mind to Shut The F$%K Up! Now, go create your greatness!!
