Biggest Disappointment(s) of Career

Trained and prepared several atheletes for the OCB Bernex Flavor IFPA Pro Show and it was cancelled. nobody contacted us. We checked the website to double check directions and it was never formally cancelled. Needless to say, that was a major expense to us, and a big disappointment for the 1st time competitors.

What I would you be doing if I wasn't a Bodybuilder?

Drinking beer eating pizza

Long Term Bodybuilding Ambitions:

Excel in business, I like to work.

What I like most about Bodybuilding

Learning, you never know it all!

What I dislike most about Bodybuilding

People who are in the gym for the wrong reason, stay out of the way of
people with fitness goals, rack your weights.

What advice I would give other bodybuilders

Never try to be better than someone else.....try to better yourself
and see where you place.  If it becomes a battle of size, then it will become a
drug competition, and that will destroy your future.

A little more about me..

my favorite things in life are spending time with my wife barbara, our
yellow lab sam, and our harley road king. something about rideing in
south florida's 6 lanes of international chaos keeps the blood to the
muscles!
