Nutrition/Fitness Philosophy: Nutrition is the half the battle, physical activity is the other half, so make part of your daily life.  I believe that becoming a competent eater will help everything else fall into place (physical activity, immunity, overall good health).  Water is everything because all in all we are composed of 60-70 percent water.  Exercise and Physical activity shouldn’t be like a job, therefore make it fun!! NO PAIN NO GAIN…not true just be smart and push your self to make changes. Enjoy life and try new things because it is never to late.

Best Day of my Life: When I met my girlfriend on March 27, 2010, and found out that I am going to be a father on March 8th!!
