1.  How did you get started in training and the health field?

After honorably serving in the United States Marine Corps from 1990-94, fitness was a natural progression considering that much of what the Marine Corps demands from it’s ranks requires a high-level of physical fitness. Not only from an individual standpoint, but educating, guiding, and training those around you. The love was there, but when I found out I could make a career out of it…almost 20 years later here I am.

2. What is one of the most effective exercise routine for the whole body?

The answer isn’t as straight forward as the question. The “most effective” routine would be the one specifically designed to fit the persons “need, not just the “want.” The “want” aspect is what drives most of us, when we should be focused specifically on the need. To clarify “Need” vs. “Want”…for example, Correcting muscular imbalances, postural issues, and inflexibilities take priority over achieving a “6-pack.”

3. What does your diet consist of and what should a great diet consist of?

On a good day or bad day...lol…Seriously, we are all human beings who require fulfillment nutritionally just as we do in any other area of our lives. Nutrition is no different. I “enjoy” my meal times.  I love variety! I love to cook, so fresh works well in preparation and most importantly…taste! Think about it…Why be so restrictive that eating becomes a daily choir and source of stress.  I said, “I enjoy my meals”, but be smart about it. Eating often times serves as the centerpiece to our social lives. Enjoy it!

Follow the basics…

*We already know, low-fat, all natural, plenty of fruits and vegetables, and well balanced

*Everything in moderation

*Follow a track that works for you, not what worked for someone else, but be smart about it. If it doesn’t look healthy, it probably isn’t

*Relax a little! Don’t turn healthy eating into a source of stress. Have fun and be nutritionally creative.

4. Who is your role model?

Wow! So many have been instrumental in defining who I am today. I would say that my Mother, Sister, and Niece…yes my 13-year-old niece… They are definitely my #1 role models. Unwavering faith, courage, perseverance, unconditional love is their attributes. Their love and support pushes me to “Do” and “Be” better.

5. What nutritional supplement do you use or would endorse?

To be honest, I don't indulge in many supplements. A multivitamin and the occasional protein shake is
about it. as far as endorsing...the one(s) appropriate for you. Such a bland answer right? (laughing).

6. What is the most important advice you can give someone to reach their goals?

There is a passage from a famous Martin Luther King Jr speech..." You ought to believe something in life, believe that thing so fervently that you will stand up with it until the end of your days." Well, this is something to definitely believe in. Believe in yourself
...Believe in the process.

7. As an honored Military veteran, what has the military taught you that you carry with you in your daily life?

It's tough narrow the answer down in a few sentences. I would say more than anything, The Honor and Code of Brotherhood.

8. Ten years from now where do you see yourself?

Hmmmm, probably married (laughing again)...Seriously, somewhere, doing something to promote health, vitality, and good living still...fighting the good fight for sure!

9. One word to describe yourself?

"Blessed!"
