A Little About Me

I am a healthy lifestyle consultant who lives in Los Angeles. Prior to that I was involved in the health & fitness industry in many different ways. I am most widely know for my work as a professional photographer and writer. I recently published a book that illustrates my frustration about the way health and fitness is packaged and sold to the American people. To learn more about my book, MISLED, please visit my website at www.HEALTHandINSPIRATION.com

When I Started Working Out

I began training at the age of twelve to increase my football skills

How I Started

I began reading every article and book I could get my hands on -

Why I Love It

Training with weights made me realize I could do anything. It helped me develop discipline and confidence, which spilled over into every aspect of my life.

How I Stay Motivated

My motivation comes from a desire to take care of the body God gave me.

My Worst Injury

rotator cuff - wasn't bad. I was back to 95% within 2 months. The worst injury I have ever suffered was a broken heart - that took a lot longer to heal.

I Would Love To Meet

Jack LaLane - somehow he has escaped my presence -

Goals

Main Goal

To help people make better decisions so they can live the best quality life possible.

Get my book into the hands of as many people as possible

Long Term Goal

Create a longeveity clinic with a group of like minded people who specialize in specific areas of health and fitness healing, and create a magazine to publicize the clinic and educate our readers.

Favorites

Bodyparts (Opposite Sex)

I like the whole package and more specifically how it fits together -

Bodyparts (Yours)

I don't really have one - I am happy with my physique in general.

Exercises

Healthy Foods

I like organic foods when possible

Not So Healthy Foods

Pizza is always a favorite - but it's actually not that bad if you stay away from unhealthy toppings and keep your serving size in check.

Supplements

I don't believe in many supplements - if you eat smart, food is a much more nutritious. However, there are some things that are difficult to obtain from the diet like alpha lipoic acid - and the test results for this supplement are very intriquing. I may take the following at certain times: CoQ10, milk thistle, pynogenal, alpha lipoic acid, enzymes with HCL

Hobbies

I like to learn more about the world we are in. I went to Namibia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana last year and just returned from the Amazon and Machu Piccua couple of weeks ago - learning about different cultures and politics always gets my attention.

Magazines

I'm dissapointed in the direction many magazines have decided to take these days - I wish someone would talk about real health and fitness issues and not this regurgitated-glamorized fake crap that fills the pages of most publications. How many times can we learn to do arm curls or a bench press?

Books

I like non-fiction books that teach me something.
