If you’re a regular reader of this blog you’ll know how serious I am about gut health. Part of that emphasis is due to that fact that I have been living with Crohn’s Disease for just around 15 years now… …which has made me have to really step up my gut health knowledge and focus. Crohn’s Disease really sucks…but I think it …
2002 Clemson Tennis post-workout on “Muscle Beach” behind Jervey Athletic Center I know looks can be a little deceiving so let me give a little bit of background: This pic was taken a little over a year after I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease and was still working my way back into playing shape after losing about 40 pounds and …
You dedicate your life to it… Spend thousands of hours training for it… Sacrifice friends and fun to study and research about it… Lay awake for hours at night thinking about it… GAINS.

(If you aren’t familiar with FMI, it is a training resource for fitness and sports professionals that offers them career and personal development education.) This was my first ever invitation to speak at FMI, and let me just tell …
There’s a big misconception out there that if you work in an office (aka sit on your ass from 9-5 or later)…you’re lazy and unmotivated if you’re “too tired to train” either before or after work. This assumption is 100% FALSE. Having worked in several corporate environments myself, and sat in tons of super boring, all-day meetings in uncomfortable clothes, …
Success in life doesn’t just “happen”. You make choices and you perform certain actions, which in turn, give you various outcomes based on those choices and actions. You choose to eat healthier. You choose to go to the gym. You choose to stay faithful to your partner. You choose happiness. You choose success – and YOU choose failure. It’s all …
In case you’ve never heard of Powertec (aka the world’s best plate loaded home gyms), they are, in my humble opinion, one of the top fitness companies out there. I’m not just saying that because I’m associated with the company – I’m saying it because I truly believe it. From the ownership to management, to the creative & media team, …
A few weeks ago I shot the 2013 Powertec Catalog along with fitness model superstars Chelsea Cruz, Frank Jones, Ian Lauer, Bobby Ashhurst, Krissy Chin, Ryan Campbell, Matt Magorian, Stacey Naito, and Natalie Minh.
