I am your ordinary, everyday fitness enthusiast. I dream of people stalking me to extract the secret to obtaining the perfect body. In my waking life, I revert back to reality: I am one of those dream chasers. I struggle, I succeed, I fail, and I learn.

At 5 feet 11 inches, I once weighed 272 pounds and had one helluva time bending over to tie my shoe laces. I couldn't get to my next pizza soon enough. That was several years ago. Since then, I've maintained a 40-plus pound weight loss, and have enjoyed hundreds of mundane weight-training sessions in the basement and garage of my home.

I am a husband, a father, and a resident of North Carolina. In my spare time, I am a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, and I still struggle with pizza.

I believe in simplicity, and I abhor the over-complication of basic principles.

I have a sincere desire to help others cut through the bull and find truth and success.
