I received a new challenge from Holly (my wife and now, Manager) tonight during our weekly Monday-night Date Night…
All I can say for now is 10,000 each…!!!
What!? I have to process this challenge before I make any announcement proper.
Can I deliver? That is the real question. This is about as daunting as [...]

Back in Orlando now…Gator Nationals was awesome, and I had a great time meeting some of you there. I have to admit, I relaxed on my eating plan slightly while there, and I didn’t do as much as I would have liked in the area of actual training, but I think it was good nonetheless [...]

Holly, Michael, Nathaniel, and I arrived in Daytona Beach, FL a while ago for the Gator Nationals Martial Arts Championships (at the Ocean Center if you are anywhere nearby). This is a big tourney with a lot of very talented people competing. I’m here to observe, soak it in, meet up with Lauren (my coach), [...]

It must have been in the thousands…swarms and swarms of gnats tonight while working out. I mean, random, sudden bursts of gag-reflexing gnats out of nowhere like thousands of enemy battleships defending what, apparently, they think is their homeland…against me, on the way to the U.S. Open.
Aaaaahhhhhhh!
We just couldn’t get away from the little things. [...]

Still working on some new tech stuff with this site…should be up and running or at least where I can share some good stuff in a couple of days.
Update on Injury:
I am working out lightly. Very light right now. Taking advice from trainers, family, and my coach to take it easy. Really listening to the [...]

I wasn’t planning on posting anything today, but I felt I needed to keep you in the loop…
Woke up this a.m. with some serious pain…mid back left side…muscular. Not sure what I did or when but this thing knocked me around today (still knocking me around) even after massage treatment, some hydrotherapy, planned rest, stretching, [...]

Hello everyone…
I’ve got some re-arranging to do over the next couple of days with this site, so I might not post much in the next couple of days. Don’t worry though, I am still working hard toward the U.S. Open. I’ve had a couple of real good days of training, and have begun [...]

I received a call from a good friend a couple of days ago. For a few years I trained MMA fighters at the amateur level (we were on the verge of going pro when I had to step away in order to heal), and one of those fighters got back in touch with me after [...]

It’s about transformation…at every level!
When I began this Quest, I wasn’t thinking in terms of, “Ooh, a tournament, cool…”, and I wasn’t thinking in terms of trophies, awards, recognition, etc. As a matter of fact, I braced for the most intense amount of ridicule. I prepared myself for people who would make promises and not [...]

Today has been such a beatdown! I began the day on the up, but then I was soon crashing (physically) and my body said, “Hey, remember when your legs were hallucinating a couple of weeks ago and you thought you were in pain then? Well, this is your WHOLE body talking tonight, not just your [...]
