Opened a workshop and started training in 1983. Entered my first competition in 1983 and have been in over forty competitions since, and have won most of them. I specialize in basic free weight training with a few supplemental machines. Don't talk to me about losing weight. If you train with me, you will work like a rented mule, and you will know exactly where every ounce of fat went to, and you will not have lost anything! I have a small private studio that will accommodate up to three people training together. I am very discreet, and very affordable. The pretty lady is Joni, my partner and my bride. She just makes a better photo than me.

My favorite client story

My client of twelve years and running, Greg, first came to me with a desire to overhead press his body weight at 135 pounds. At first he could only press 85 pounds, but we kept working , adding a little extra every session until finally, after sixteen weeks of gut wrenching and diligent work, we reached the magic number of 135 x 3. The tewist to this story is that during these sixteen week of torture and misery, Greg had added sixteen pound of lean muscle to his frame, and he now weighed in at one hundred and fifty one pounds! Now we had tro set another overhead press goal at 151. We are still chasing that goal twelve years later.

My favorite exercise

All compound and isolation exercises have a place in fitness. There are no favorites. Many varieties and different angles attack are the best formula for overall fitness and balance.

My favorite quote

"You're never too old to start exercising, and you're never old enough to stop" L McNutt

My training philosophy

A little bit every day is a lot better than a whole lot once in a while.
