We are What we Notice in Others

The Worst Cussword in the English Language

"Can't" is one letter away from being a major swear word. I forbid my children, and my personal training clients from using it. Ever. "Can't" is the easiest excuse. Bob Proctor says the only worse than an excuse is a good excuse. Erase "Can't" from your vocabulary and w...

I Am

I'm a stay-at-home dad. I met my wife 20 yrs. ago when I was in the army stationed at Arlington, VA. I have three awesome sons, they're 3, 7, and 9. They keep me busy, and I love every minute of it. I'm also passionate about my personal training business. The more I help others, the more I help myself.

My first transformation took place in 2005. 2 years prior I'd quit smoking and started packing on pounds. The stress of my wife being in the hospital on bedrest for several months, while pregnant with our 2nd son, added more pounds. When my son was born I realised I was too out of shape to keep up with my responsibilities. I did the Atkins diet. It sucked, I hated it very much. I lost 70 lbs in 5 months. Felt healthier, but didn't really discover how good I could feel until I discovered weight training. I read Body for Life and several other books that turned me on to a more balanced approach to nutrition than Atkins offered, and I've kept the weight off.

I love weight training, tai chi, qigong, meditation, and yoga. I'm also really into the paranormal, it's just a lifelong obsession with all things weird and unexplained.
