Athletics, competition and always bettering yourself. I always loved the aesthetic of bodybuilding. Always trying to reach new peaks and always getting better. Now, it's my kids, and being around for them. Building that dedication within them. Coaching their sports and trying to instill that same work ethic and drive that I was taught growing up. I'm loving every second of seeing them follow in my footsteps. It's also the satisfaction of mentoring others to achieve their fitness desires.

I train the same way I did in my 20's, go big or go home! If I'm not pushing my limits I don't feel right. I still try to do a 5 day split training regimine, along with 3-4 days of cardio per week, and a healthy diet of course. What has changed over time is that I listen to my body. I don't push through pain, I respect it and treat it. I appreciate recovery and understand sometimes you just need a few days break. It's consistency that trumps all else. It's you vs you. Just do it.

The money would obviously be incredible. We could put a nice down payment on a much needed new car, put some money in the bank and of course spoil the kids with a little trip. But aside from all of that being featured in a fitness magazine has been a life long dream of mine. A dream I have never stopped working toward for 40 years. The money is a perk to me. Getting my story put in Muscle and Fitness history is priceless.
