Born and raised in Omaha Nebraska. Youngest of seven, my parents of course were 1) IRISH and 2)Catholic.

Graduated with a degree in Business Administration in 2000. Moved to Dallas Texas in 2003. In 2006 me and three partners started a business. I sold my portion of the business to two of the partners in Spring of 2009. Since then I've spent some time traveling, relaxing and most importantly thinking about my future.

I finally realized that yes I did want to be my own boss, that I really enjoyed working for myself. That I wanted to make good money. That I wanted to do something of value to other people. The problem was I didn't know what that could possibly be. While I was pondering and trying to find a direction I decided that since I wasn't working now would be the ideal time to get in shape.

I dug out a beachbody dvd that I had ordered years ago and started working out. It was amazing, I really enjoyed the feeling of my body growing and becoming stonger and more responsive. The first day I couldn't even keep up, I had to keep pausing the dvd and basically just "walk" through the workout. Three short weeks later I'm busting through the workout and I feel better then I have felt in years.

Turns out I have a good friend who is a very successful beach body coach...after I started working out I remembered that and set up a meeting. WOW...here was the opportunity I've been looking for, here was my dream job...and the coolest thing? I don't have to apply for it, I don't have to compete for it...it is there for me to do or not if I accept the challenge. I of course have accepted the challenge and I am so excited to be here today. That is all for now but I'm sure I will have more to say down the road.

My fitness goal: Build Muscle

Transformation story

Well I'm still writing my story. Lets see. Nine years ago I started my official corporate career. At the time I weighed 170 lbs. Like most people who go from active to sitting at a desk I started to put on weight. About 10 pounds a year. Four years ago I ordered a beachbody dvd. I started with it and then stopped. 2 years ago I quit my desk job to work in my dog grooming and daycare/boarding shop. I was much more active and I went from 240 down to about 210. In January of this year my partner had a heart scare. Since then we've basically become vegetarian and lost another ten pounds. Three weeks ago I dug out my beachbody dvd and started working out again. I'm already starting to look and feel better and I'm looking forward to telling my story in the flesh.
