Congratulations to all of the Musclemania World Champions! I am amazed at the competition level and athlete's that Musclemania draws, it gets better and better every year! Some recent pictures of the 2004 Superbody - what a BLAST!

Before I go any further I need to give a BIG THANK YOU to my entire family. Thanks for showing up it meant the world to me. Although it looks like I'm on stage all alone, they were with me the entire time! To My Amazing Wife Jani ~ You are the BEST! Thanks to my "Big Brother" Jerry, all the lessons are in my head. To My bro Jason and dearest to his heart Dorina, for your support and the PICTURES! To my Bro Josh who flew all the way to Miami leaving his expecting wife and son in California for one day just to show his support. And to my Bro Julius, though you couldn't make it - I felt you "knocking"! And the support from "My 3 Angels"... The greatest Gift for me would be a lesson for my kids; Andrew, Daniel & Meygan.

Natural Bodybuilding: It's not just a Sport, It's a Lifestyle!

Today I weighed in at 185lbs (off season food is fun!) I'm lifting heavier and getting stronger. My workouts are under an hour but I make them as intense as possible with very little rest in between. Experiencing the quality of the competition only drives me to realize my body's fullest Natural Potential!

It's been a challenge but what I've been focused on the Most is TOTAL LIFE BALANCE! With the demands of my professional work, raising a great family, investing for our future, keeping up my education, my volunteer work as a youth b-ball coach, moving my home and office workplace, along with my bodybuilding, 2004 has been nothing short of exciting! Friends ask me how I'm able to fit it all in, I tell them 1st you need a Great Life Partner. We're fortunate that my wife has always been able to be at home with the kids and second is having a Strong POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE! Just like I tell the kids ~ there's no room in this world for people with BAD ATTITUDES!

BODY-BUILDING for LIFE! Keep the FAITH!
