This is a very special post, because I am celebrating one of my best clients, who recently reached a unique milestone. I've been a fitness professional for a little over seven years, with a lifetime in North Dallas, and I've worked with numerous men and women, coaching them to achieve more than 40 pounds of...

About two and a half years ago, for my birthday—my birthday’s in January—one of my very best clients, Omar, gave me a gift I’ll never forget. He rented me my dream car: a Porsche 911. Not the Turbo version, but a 911 Carrera—close enough. For 24 hours, I got to drive the car I’ve admired... Continue Reading →
When I was a kid, like many of us, I had a habit of shouting something that felt incredibly important at the time:“Hey, Mom, look what I did!”“Dad, come see!”It could’ve been a flip off the diving board, a drawing on the fridge, or a new personal best in backyard push-ups — it didn’t matter....

Today, I'd like... Continue Reading →
For the past seven years, I’ve worked as a fitness professional for Lifetime Healthy Way of Life. This year, however, I encountered something I’ve never seen before: three relatively young boys, out of school for summer break, training several days a week—alongside their dads. Too soon? At first glance, this may not seem like a... Continue Reading →

Especially when it comes to body transformation, belief is usually the first casualty. The results take time. The work is unfamiliar. Progress is... Continue Reading →
Perfect games are rare. In over a century of Major League Baseball, only 24 have ever been recorded. The most recent? Domingo Germán of the New York Yankees, June 28, 2023—27 up, 27 down. No hits, walks, or errors. Pure, unblemished excellence. The first perfect game since 2012. Golf has its own version of perfection.... Continue Reading →
Let’s clear something up: a diet or meal plan is not the same as nutrition coaching. If you're chasing the latest fad diet hoping to lose weight and transform your body—without a coach or support system—your chances of long-term success are slim. Harsh? Maybe. But let’s take a closer look. We live in a time... Continue Reading →
On Friday, May 3, 2024, I lay quietly in pre-op at Craig Ranch Surgery Center, waiting for knee surgery. The nurse struggled with my PIC line, missing my right hand, and eventually succeeding with the left. When she asked if I wanted to watch TV while I waited for the anesthesiologist, I said, “No, ma’am.... Continue Reading →
The past few weeks have been heavy. Two clients lost close family friends without warning. Another, overjoyed by a first pregnancy, miscarried the following week. One client faced the first anniversary of his father’s untimely passing, while another was diagnosed with throat cancer. A college friend’s dad is still battling cancer. A young client lost...
