Me backstage at the Masters Nationals in 2010. I placed 3rd in the heavies that year. I loved competing and did so from 1989 until 2015. Now I just focus on coaching my clients, working with my athletes and judging some of the IFBB pro contests. My life as a retired athlete was a hard […]
Me at the top of the Willis Tower in Chicago, standing on the sky bridge! You think you won’t freak out but I definitely took a second to step out on that glass well over a hundred stories up! I fools your brain, you rationally know that you won’t fall but every instinct says “don’t […]
Here is a shot from me at the 2008 North American championships, back when it was held in Cleveland. I have competed in 57 shows in my lifetime, in just about every weight class. What a wonderful competitive career I have had. While I do not plan to ever get back on stage, I love […]

This picture was just a few years ago at a the Fresno Classic. It is always great to chat with Kai Greene.

Me working with one of good friends for a show back at the 2009 NPC Jr Cal (before it changed to the West Coast Classic! My buddy Danny Seibertwould go on to win this easily but I am more proud of the kind of athlete and man he is. One of the most generous and […]
Me and Luke Sandoe backstage at the Olympia. It was great today to have Luke on my podcast, HYH and great to start recording again. We got to talk about bodybuilding, but we also spent a lot of time talking about really fun geeky stuff that he and I share an interest in like comic […]
