Welcome
to my website.
It is dedicated to the sport of Body Building
and health and fitness.
On January 5, 2008 I celebrated my 65th birthday and in my 26 th year
of participating in bodybuilding. Coming from a track and field and
dance background of my youth, I discovered bodybuilding at age 39 and
it changed my life. To me it is the most exacting, fascinating, demanding,
selfish, disciplined sport I know of and I love it. !!
In some ways it helped me balance the demands of my professional career
plus it gave me the opportunity to meet so many new and interesting
people.
During the competition season my website features pictures and results
from just about all the New York bodybuilding shows, some New Jersey
shows, National and IFBB shows. Also featured are photo shoots of some
of the top bodybuilders, figure and fitness competitors.
From time
to time I feature videos on specific people, fitness classes etc and
health and fitness articles of interest.
I have
just changed the focus of my VIP section to be just for competitors
who need my help and advise for contest preparation, and for people
who want me to help them lose weight by designing specific training
and diet programs for them.
I am
a National and International Bodybuilding champion with 25 years
of body building experience. My bodybuilding career has run concurrently
with my 40-year professional management career in corporate America
which spanned working for five Fortune 500 companies. I am also a certified
personal trainer with demonstrated success delivering nutritional seminars
and exhibiting training techniques at sports conventions and shows.
Currently I am serving as a National (NPC) and International (IFBB)
judge. In addition, I have been a US delegate and judge to the World
Universe Championships and have been acknowledged for my longevity
and dedication to the sport of bodybuilding. At age 65, I am still respected
in the gym for my strength and training skills. I was granted Pro Status
as an IFBB bodybuilder May 2004.
My website
is constantly evolving so always check the,
"What's NEW" , section.
