I'm in my 40's and in the best shape of my life thanks to Beachbody! I am originally from Manchester NH, went to college in ME and in NH. I moved to Austin TX (Hook’em Horns!) after college and lived there for 10 years. I did a stint as a Police Officer in TX before relocating to MI. I now live in Novi, MI and work out of my house as a Regional Sales Manager for a litigation software company out of LA.

I am a former kick-boxer and personal trainer and a former gym rat… with a passion for anything in health & fitness. Ever since I was a kid; health, fitness and nutrition was part of my life and my identity. Always helping friends and acquaintances with fitness questions and goals!...and loved it. As your Beach Body coach my passion will put STRUCTURE to your quest for TOTAL fitness. This structure will help you with the "mind-set" that's needed to get fit AND stay fit!

Together we will make fitness part of your identity!!! When out with friends and family; instead of ordering the hamburger, fries and coke at a restaurant… you will order the salad with ice-water! And, it will not only be easy but expected from you and you'll love doing it every time. How? Why? Because it will be expected of you; because fitness and nutrition will NOW be part of your identity; your “angle”… However, you will still be able to enjoy the foods you love on occasion. I will help you maximize your results by simplifying health and nutrition for you. We can even work-out together even if you're 100 miles away.

People have told me that my approach and passion for health and fitness is contagious. As your coach, you will eventually find yourself feeling and expressing the same passion. Maybe some day you will share your story and be a coach to help people too.

Your body is your temple - take care of it and it will take care of you.

Kind regards,

Mike (Deez)

My fitness goal:

Transformation story

In November 2007 I injured my left shoulder bench pressing. I tried to avoid surgery by resting it and going to physical therapy but my rotator cuff was torn and worse of all my labrum was torn. On April 1, 2008 I had surgery. I lost over 18 lbs of muscle and went from banging out 100 push-ups to struggling to do 15 on my knees.

For 3 months in the winter of 2008, I was informally coaching a friend named Brandon Jeffres over the phone with health, fitness and nutrition. In the spring when I visited him in IN he was eager to show me the program he chose – that program was P90X!

I watched a few of the videos and was intrigued. In a small amount of time he and his wife were experiencing tremendous results that I personally witnessed over the web. I have had a gym membership ever since I was 16 and loved body building using free weights; but I needed to start working out again and my shoulder wasn’t ready for free-weights or machines yet. So I bought P90X and kept the medical freeze on my gym membership - I couldn’t imagine getting that “pump” in my arms and chest from a work-out video…

I got pumped up! I found P90X to be not only challenging and fun but very conducive for someone recovering from surgery. I received great results, canceled my gym membership and signed up to be a coach because I am a true believer in this program. So now I use my # 1 passion and hobby to help people!
