HELLO EVERYONE!!! I am back, - seriously, I am ready to rock and roll! You may have wondered what the hell happened to me over the last few months, well I honestly just needed a break. I had made the mistake of creating too many commitments, and my weekly blog just got caught in the middle. I will be re-committing myself to my blogs asap- especially as this summer serves to be extremely exciting. On the home front life is going awesome. My fiance and I have started our engagement counseling at our church- super jacked for that. Our first session was interesting to say the least! I actually enjoyed opening up as well as... Read More

Happy Mother's Day to all of you moms out there!! A special thanks to my mom for raising the perfect child! Just kidding, I was a pain in the ass actually. Okay, so here are some updates- a lot going on in my life right now. First and foremost I am getting leaner and finally have a six-pack back, especially by Friday- Friday I should be getting to the point where I will feel leeean!!! This means I am turning the corner to shred city and should be diced by June. It feels good to get some damn definition and vascularity back. Funny though I'm still over 235lbs on my low carb days. This must change soon, and it will. Right around 230 is where I... Read More

Its Thursday evening and I just got done hitting up a 3.5 mile run/walk. Earlier today I trained 5 body parts, so as you can imagine, I am exhausted. Just this week I have started a new program, one that I developed for a client actually. I figured I would give it a shot considering this particular clients goals are the same as mine, i.e. to get shredded while keeping the muscles looking dense. It looks like I will be shooting in June, for a few covers. Its been two years since my last cover, although I have been fortunate to have workout routines published multiple times in 2009. This year has started slow, having put most of my... Read More

I've been super slammed the past two days preparing for the next Mr & Ms Miami Beach Body Contest. It looks like the competition is heating up as the current list of competitors is loaded with talent.

My fiance Michele and I have been working with some pretty amazing people over at Newport. It takes a lot of effort and stick-to-itiveness... Read More

Thirty-two years young today and am feeling so much. There is a huge list of things that I have experienced that I am thankful for, along with just as big a list ahead of experiences I look forward to being "front and center" for.

Life has its way of twisting and turning you around from time to time; but with the right focus, determination and faith you'll land exactly where you need to be. Trusting your instinct is vital, but dangerous if your instinctive decisions come ahead of... Read More
