I’ve always been a very curious individual. From an early age I remember always wanting to know how and why things worked the way they do and I’d always try to figure out better or easier ways to do things. I would take toys apart just to reassemble them and my favorite toys were ones that enabled me to build things and allowed my creativity to soar such as Lincoln Logs, LEGOs and the good old Erector Sets of the 70s. So, wonder, awe and understanding have always been defining characteristics of my persona and what one of my favorite motivational speakers, Ed Mylett, refers to as our “identity.” That still hasn’t changed to this day.
It was as a Boy Scout in the late 70s when I first discovered my passion for fitness. I was going through the Boy Scout Handbook one day and came across the section on puberty. It showed two distinct body images; one of a skinny adolescent boy and one of a young man, post growth spurt. The man had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, defined pectoral muscles and the iconic six-pack stomach. I made up my mind right then that this was the body I would strive to achieve and maintain throughout my entire life.
Over 40 years later, I can personally attest to the power of intention, goals, decision and discipline because I have not only achieved my dream body, but I have also lived in a state of optimal fitness and peak health for decades now as I have continued my quest to understand how and why the body works the way it does. Of course, along the way life has done what life will do and I have strayed off the path as most of us do, but it has been that original decision and intention that has always remained present in my subconscious and conscious mind as being of utmost importance to me and I’ve always righted my course.
Clearly health and fitness are a passion of mine. People have been telling me for years that I need to do something with my knowledge and my affinity to help others in achieving their personal goals. This website and business I have created is my answer to those “hints.”
Health, it has been said, is the greatest wealth. The roughly 2300 year old quote from Herophilus on the front page of this website says it all; without health, we are unable to achieve our full potential in virtually every other area of life. So, optimal health is the basis for all of the good things we truly cherish and work hard for in life. After all, shouldn’t we take care of the sole thing we have from birth until death better than anything else in our lifetime?
This is an ideology that has stuck with me throughout my life as I have continuously and consistently sought to learn and apply my newly acquired knowledge acting as my own personal guinea pig to discover what works well and what doesn’t so much. As a result of this constant drive to always improve, I have reached a state of balance in which I am rarely sick and in what I believe to be in close alignment with Natural Law. Outside of minor traumatic injuries, I have not been to see an allopathic doctor since May of 1998 and don’t plan on seeing one ever again. I haven’t had the need for a holistic doctor, either, as I have listened to my body over the years, figured out what has ailed me and always gotten my body back into balance through, again, newly acquired and applied knowledge. Should I ever need medical attention for something I am unable to figure out myself, I will seek the counsel of only top holistic doctors as I believe that this is the future of medicine and healing once a critical mass of people understand the level to which we have been misled and deceived by a business model that actually requires sickness over health as a profit motive and to maximize shareholder value.
As an individual, I have always striven for perfection, even though as we are all aware, perfection is nearly impossible to attain and usually subjective, nonetheless. But, it’s in that drive that we are able to come close to living at our full potential in all areas of life. As a natural athlete in high school, I was too small at the time to achieve my potential in football, too short for basketball and just a hair too slow to excel in track and field. But, I had a natural talent for gymnastics and my high school’s gymnastics coach saw that ability after witnessing a straight legged cartwheel I had done with in gym class with near perfect form. I was heavily recruited to represent my school during my sophomore year and I went on to win MVP of the team for 2 of my only 3 years ever competing in the sport. My junior year I was injured and missed too many meets to qualify for the honor.
After high school, it was on to the military. I again excelled in basic training at Fort Benning, Georgia, where I maxed out my mid-cycle, end-of-cycle and physical training tests attaining a perfect score in each. Never one to personally settle for less than my best effort and always one to go the extra mile, I graduated as the Honor Graduate from my platoon of over 40, was privileged to be one of two out of approximately 160 soldiers in my training company selected for duty in The Old Guard (the Army’s division of the Presidential Honor Guard in Washington, DC), promoted from E1 to E4 within 13 months (something which normally takes over 2 years), and went on to become a member of the US Army Drill team and attain the highest possible status as a soloist.
Looking back, it’s been my realization that I’ve always achieved my full potential in life when I truly cared and put my mind and full effort towards achieving certain goals. In college, my grades were just slightly above average (2.97 out of 4.0 GPA) because school never really inspired me and I didn’t really care. But, I got through in 4 years all the while working over 40 hours a week as a school bus driver and pizza delivery driver. Post college, I realized after 5 years in sales, that I was too much of a free spirit to submit any longer to the daily grind and monotony of the corporate world as I alluded to in my first blog post. In the 18 months thereafter of seeking to find myself and true calling in life, I had gotten myself back into top shape and stumbled into a career that would last for the next 2 decades and bring me to where I am now.
I was living in a friend’s spare bedroom in 2000 and most of my earthly possessions were in a storage facility about 2 miles up the road. I was severely depressed and still looking for direction or opportunity in life. I hadn’t yet found my true calling and was ‘stuck.’ I had been working for a messenger service delivering packages all over metro Chicago to survive and just barely get by, but was so broke that my car got repossessed – a truly low point in my life. All the while, though, I had been working out again 5 days a week in my free time. The result of this was I suddenly found myself in the best shape of my life and I decided to send out some pictures to a few modeling agencies. To my surprise, I was contacted the next day by 3 different agencies!
I proceeded to follow that opportunity for a few months when a friend suggested I look into a business in which another model friend of hers was dabbling. I was able to carve out my own little niche in the entertainment industry that allowed me to earn a very comfortable income by working primarily on the weekends – Friday and Saturday night, leaving me free to pursue other interests and passions in the enormous amount of free time I suddenly had from Sunday through Thursday. I never thought this would last more than a couple of years, but, here I am, still at the top of my game in a 52 year old body that most perceive to be as early 30s.
It was a blessing and a curse. A blessing because it gave me a life of virtually complete freedom and autonomy to do whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. It was a career that paid very well for very little time, but it also completely monopolized every single weekend for the past 20 years. Which was, in hindsight, a major blessing in itself because it kept me from the default option of going out and drinking like everyone else does and falling back into that unhealthy lifestyle I lived in the corporate world. But, it was a curse in that it alienated me from close relationships and has ultimately led to a life of extreme loneliness and having people judge you as something you’re completely not without taking the time to get know your heart, mind or true character. However, it encouraged me to stay at a level of fitness that would keep the money rolling in and customer feedback overwhelmingly positive.
In being forced to maintain a level of health and fitness normally not required by most jobs, I have learned first hand the importance of maintaining personal health and fitness throughout life no matter what your chosen profession because now at 52, I am so incredibly happy to have done so. Another thing it has done for me, however, is that it as shown me just how simple it is to actually maintain this level of fitness with not nearly as much effort as most would believe. Because like most people, I do tend towards laziness from time to time and what I have really done over the years is the bare minimum required. Overall, I have simply converted bad habits into good habits that really require no additional time in the grand scheme of things. It’s merely just a shift of time and focus.
Once again, I had worked my way to the very top of my chosen endeavor. From what I’ve been told over the years by numerous agencies as well as literally thousands of women for whom I’ve performed, I became, most likely, the best entertainer in my particular field in the entire nation (private parties – not stage shows). So, just as in high school and the military, I had risen to the top, become the best of the best and achieved my full potential. Other areas of my life, however, had fallen by the wayside in the process. The money and lifestyle was so easy that it did lead to complacency, especially in personal relationships and growth. I stagnated in many facets, but, quenching my never-ending thirst for knowledge and truth was not one of them.
The greatest benefit to this 20 year career was the immense amount of free time it offered me to follow my other passions. I have spent well over 30,000 hours in the past 12 years alone seeking truth, applying critical thinking to stories we’ve been told by “figures of authority” only to find that much of what people believe to be true, completely false. So, it’s become my life’s mission to awaken others to the reality of our world, the power of Natural Law and the beautiful future we as humans can create once a critical mass of individuals have awakened to the power of objective truth and Natural Law.
This truly is my life’s calling. It is my passion to help as many people as humanly possible through this website, my YouTube channel and other social media platforms to look deep inside and challenge themselves to identify and admit to faults we ALL have and to overcome and direct their lives towards one that ultimately aligns closer and closer with Natural Law and their true selves. Because, as I have discovered myself, the closer we align our thoughts, beliefs, actions and attitudes with the omnipotent power of Natural Law, the better and better our lives become! It truly is one of the most powerful concepts an individual can learn and apply in their own life.
I hope you will follow me on my journey as I enter a completely new, vastly different, but what I know will be the most exciting and rewarding chapter of my life. My first 52 years have just been practice for a life I feel has only just begun. As my mission statement confirms, my intentions with everything I do are pure and my aim is solely to help others to align and balance their lives within the boundaries of Natural Law and to reach their full potential in every area of life that they want to achieve. I am personally on the same path and know that I still have far to go to achieve my full potential in many areas of my own life, so this will be a journey on which we all can travel together. If my past success is any measure of what’s to come, I know I will succeed beyond my wildest dreams.
You will discover in my blog posts and YouTube videos the areas of life where I have been living well below my potential and my plans to change all of that. In doing so, I hope to help others entrapped in certain ruts in life and looking for a way out. Understanding and applying Natural Law is the best way I have found to overcome almost every stumbling block in life!
To summarize, I am a truth seeker; passionately learning, applying and sharing my knowledge with all who wish to listen. I am a perfectionist who seeks to do the best in everything I attempt and accept nothing short of my highest standard. I am an empath who cares deeply about everything I undertake in life and seek to help all that I am able to with my knowledge and understanding. I am a person who has never failed at anything in life I have put my mind to accomplish and I’m not about to stop. So, follow me as I embark on the final 80+ years of my life and create one which I will envision, work towards, manifest and fulfill beyond my dreams while sharing with all in my sincere hope to help change the world in only the most positive ways possible along my path.
