When I was young, I was obese and chronically ill. In kindergarten, I was the only fat kid. Even though I had straight A's in second grade, I was always sick, and if I would have missed one more day of school, I would be held back. At age 12, I lost weight, and by age 13, I was working out at the school gym. I set a personal goal of maintaining a healthy weight and staying healthy. I read bodybuilding magazines, and before college, I began studying nutrition textbooks. At Montclair State, I studied nutrition, but upon graduating, I was challenged to put into use what I had learned. I was doing what I was taught, but I was not getting the results that I expected. This all changed in 1995 when I met Canadian Charles Poliquin, a world-famous strength coach. Charles trained more world record holders, Olympic medalists, and professional athletes than any other coach in the world. He explained to me why my training and nutrition was not successful.

In 1997, Charles Poliquin introduced me to Dr Eric Serrano, MD. 

Now a Doctor for 36 years in Columbus, Ohio. I have been studying under Eric for 27 years. He is not just my mentor but my friend as well. He fixes the sickest patients in the country who are told by the best MDs that they can't be fixed. He has a 90% success rate fixing these people with nutrition and supplementation and getting them off of all, if not most of their medications. He also works with many of the best Pro athletes in the world and regular people as well. An entire NFL team hired him, and they went on to win the Super Bowl. I do not believe there's another doctor out there who works with the sickest people to the healthiest people in the world. If that is not enough, he also teaches medical school part-time for the past 30 years. He said that my education in nutrition was not enough, and he made me learn biochemistry and physiology at a PhD level. He reads five to seven research papers a day and has done so since 1990. He would send me research papers and have me critique them. This new knowledge changed my world and how I look at things. He taught me that learning never stops, and he walks the walk and talks to talk. I, too, read research papers every day. I will be forever grateful too his mentorship and friendship.

At this point, I continue to study and learn from the best possible in the world. (Please refer to the Mentors section on my page for more information).
