My fitness journey began in the sixth grade when I was boosted up on a pair of still rings. At that moment, I knew my journey in fitness was going to be exhilarating. While swinging on the rings, I discovered a freedom I had not previously experienced. Every muscle in my body was working in perfect precision. I swiftly took to the rings. I respected every found movement of my anatomy and physiology. As I continued building up strength and flexibility I was able to accomplish routines with ease. This led me to becoming a three time All American Gymnast by the age of 15. My persistent and continuous action in gymnastics had paid off. I truly believe in the attainment of our goals and dreams. Consistent practice and discipline is the formula to success. I graduated in 1991 from Bay Shore High School. I have taken every skill from the teachings of my coach Mr. John Pfieffer. Mr. Pfieffer taught me how to be disciplined and to persevere. He also taught me how to take care of my muscles. He explained that every man or woman must treat their muscles with respect and take good care of them. Freed the muscles the nutrients they need and keep them flexible and strong. These are the foundations of fitness.
