When I was young, I was obese and chronically ill. In kindergarten, I was the only fat kid. Even though I had straight A's in second grade, I was always sick, and if I would have missed one more day of school, I would be held back. At age 12, I lost weight, and by age 13, I was working out at the school gym. I set a personal goal of maintaining a healthy weight and staying healthy. I read bodybuilding magazines, and before college, I began studying nutrition textbooks. At Montclair State, I studied nutrition, but upon graduating, I was challenged to put into use what I had learned. I was doing what I was taught, but I was not getting the results that I expected. This all changed in 1995 when I met Canadian Charles Poliquin, a world-famous strength coach. Charles trained more world record holders, Olympic medalists, and professional athletes than any other coach in the world. He explained to me why my training and nutrition was not successful.

In 1997, Charles Poliquin introduced me to Dr Eric Serrano, MD. Dr Serrano was working with professional athletes, bodybuilders, and powerlifters using cellular biochemistry and supplements. In addition, he also helped to heal some of the sickest people in the country who had been seen by countless doctors to no avail, told that there was nothing that could be done for them. Dr Serrano has a 90% success rate in fixing the sickest people in the world. He helps them get their health back and off of prescription drugs. Dr. Serrano has remained my mentor and friend ever since we met and continues to teach me things that very few know about in cellular biochemistry, physiology, how to properly interpret blood labs, and more.

In 1998, Charles Poliquin introduced me to Dr Michael Leahy, who invented Active Release Techniques (ART), a technique that helps neuromuscular issues and relieves pain within 1 to 5 sessions. By the year 2000, to help injured athletes, every single Pro Team in all sports, along with their minor teams, had a practitioner for ART.  Non-athletes benefit from ART as well in as little as one to five sessions. I got Certified, and my final Certification in Biomechanics was by Dr Leahy himself.

At this point, I continue to study and learn from the best possible in the world. (Please refer to the Mentors section on my page for more information).
