The real LOVE and priority in my life is my Jewelia, my beautiful daughter. She comes before anything else. Period. That being said... a little bit about myself.

Philosophy:
My introduction to bodybuilding began in 1988 when I first started training with the intention to compete.
Although I am still a competitive bodybuilder, my focus is more centered on introducing other people to the benefits of personal training. While working with my first client, Dusty Hill of ZZ Top, I realized that proper exercise is the key to strengthening the connection between the body and the mind.
At that point, I felt it was my destiny to educate others and teach them the crucial importance of proper nutrition and weight training.
I then began to formalize my personal training philosophies as an independent trainer at the Powerhouse Gym in Venice and Gold's Gym (Hollywood and North Hollywood). At the same time, I supplemented my hands-on experiences with courses in exercise physiology at UCLA. In addition, I have earned the following certifications:
- American Council of Exercise
- International Sports Sciences Association
- American Academy of Health and Fitness - Post Rehabilitation Specialist
In 1996, I moved my business to Powerhouse Gym in West Los Angeles and became their exclusive provider of personal training systems.
By this time, I had more clients than I could train, so I developed Fit 4 Life Training Systems Corporation, a personalized system designed to help my clients strike a balance of proper exercise, healthy diet and achieving goals.
Shortly, Fit 4 Life achieved national attention. "Good Morning America" recognized that my system was on the cutting edge of training and fitness programs and asked me to write an article about it.
