Physical Fitness has been a love of mine for as long as I can remember. As a child, I played little league baseball for 3 years, pop warner football for 4 years, city league basketball for a couple years and all the rough and tough sports you do as a little boy with friends and neighbors. I went on to playing sports all through my high school years, mainly focusing on wrestling.
I enlisted in the Marine Corps at the age of 17 and immediately searched for the most challenging job they could offer. Needless to say, that made me infantry (GRUNT) material. While in the Corps, I joined a boxing team and also played football for a number of years. I also served in combat while in the Corps. Panama (Operation Just Cause) in 1989, Saudi Arabia (Operation Desert Storm) in 1990, and Somalia (Operation Restore Hope) in 1993. I joined the special forces unit (Recon) in 1992 and was also a Drill Instructor at MCRD in San Diego, CA.
After the Marine Corps a few colleges were scouting me to play football, but because of personal reasons I chose to play for an adult league instead. After my first game I was picked up by a semi-pro football team. During this time, I got certified as a personal trainer in San Diego CA and pursued a career as a trainer at a local gym. After getting several PT certifications and training at some well known gyms, I joined the National Guard and retired after several more years of active service.
Over the years, I have competed in numerous power lifting competitions, bodybuilding, football, boxing, and even competed in the tough man competition. I enjoy training people to get the results that they desire. That is my greatest reward. I love spending time with my wife, kids and dogs when I get free time and I recognize that I am blessed to be surrounded by good people.
Currently, I am the owner Rage Fitness and I am enjoying the learning experiences that I am receiving.
