A Little About Me

My life revolves around fitness, nutrition & health. I discovered weight training in highschool, then after highschool I fell in love with bodybuilding. Its a very disciplined, committing lifestyle, and requires the uptmost dedication, especially the diet aspect. Which for the record does not mean "to lose weight" ;) It's the type of palate of food that you eat on a regular basis.

My love for the human body, and the extreme challenges that bodybuilding posess, lead me towards physical therapy. I'm not one to ever use drugs and medicine and always feel that you can cure and heal yourself naturally by proper nutrition and exercise. Of course drugs have their plays in the field of life, especially emergency situations, but for the most part, our aspirin gobbling, tylenol PM medicinal nation doesn't need all those drugs, in fact they really make you worse off sometimes :).

I'm big into everything about the body, which as I mentioned, is why I'm studying Physical Therapy and going for my Doctorate (after I finish my BA's). I love to help people, especially with weight training and exercise or "Personal Training".

So please feel free to ask me questions about diet & nutrition, or how to achieve a physique that you really want!
