Before I Was Famous…

Many years before I lived in Grand Rapids, MI – or Delaware – or even England…

A lifetime before I began blogging at “the cup”

Before I laid the groundwork for This Workout Doesn’t Suck

Before writing the Ultimate Home Gym Guide

Before I was a member of the advisory board for Men’s Fitness magazine

Before I became a contributing author to “The Power of Champions”

Before I was “the official fitness trainer for Miss Delaware USA” (2003-04)

Long before anyone ever uttered the words “fitness expert” before my name…

I was a powerlifter

…and life was good
(even if I did finish second)
