This picture is from a photoshoot just a day before the 2010 North Americans. One of my favorite shots inspired by my friend and Hall of Fame bodybuilder, Shawn Ray! Thank you for inspiring me buddy! THB: The year is ending today and we will embark on a new year at midnight tonight. What awaits […]
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 […]

The late Rich Piana and myself back in 2013 at the USA Championships in Vegas. I didn’t know Rich very well but what an impressive fella in the business of bodybuilding. He was always so gentle and kind with me. I didn’t always agree with his philosophies but I liked the man. THB: I never […]
This picture was just a few years ago at a the Fresno Classic. It is always great to chat with Kai Greene. I don’t know him well, but he is always wonderfully positive and truly a thoughtful person whenever we get the chance to chat! THB: Relaxing into our life’s wellbeing is essential to feeling […]
Me being goofy a couple years ago at the Olympia with Danny Hester! Laugher and brevity have always been at the center of my ethos my entire life. Whether I am working or not, it’s always time to laugh, especially at myself. THB: Our health is determined by more than just what we eat and […]
Here is a stage shot from the 2007 LA Championships, I won the heavy class that year (I’m center). Wow, life moves at the pace we decide to pay attention at. This days seems just like yesterday! THB: I can only see the world through my unique perspective. This bias is my limitation to understanding […]
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 […]
