About

I  started working out when I was 13. Inspired by boxers like heavyweights  Ken Norton and Mike Weaver and middleweight Marvelous Marvin Hagler as  well as by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, I was  determined to get into incredible shape.  

​

Since  then, I became a weightlifter, then a lightweight rower in college,  then a marathon runner, swimmer, and endurance cyclist. Along the way, I  studied nutrition, becoming a vegetarian, then vegan, then back to  vegetarian.  I also began a meditation practice, which I've now been at for seven years.

Through  all this, I've experimented with different fitness equipment and  philosophies--bodyweight exercises, barbells and dumbbells, Nautilus  machines, resistance bands, weighted clubbells, and aerobic steps. 

This  Summer I turned 55, which means I've been studying and training for 42  years. And, if I've learned anything from all that experience, it's that  the body and mind continue to evolve and change with age. 

But  aging doesn't mean quitting or conceding. Indeed, if anything, as  people pass into the second half of their lives, it's all the more  important to stay active, stay fit, eat right, and challenge and expand  the mind.

As  someone very much into this "next chapter" it's my privilege to be your  guide, to provide helpful resources and information, so that you can  get your mind and body in shape for this next chapter of your life, so  that you ascend the heights and be "Next Chapter Fit."
