Hello and thank you for coming to my site: Those of you who know me know me well and those of you who dont will come to if you hang with me through time here on my very own web site. Getting to Know Me: I was born in St Paul Minnesota. I was adopted and located my birth parents in 1995 who are still married and I have two other sisters. My adopted family lives in Texas and I also have a brother and a sister I am an Internal medicine physician, with a subspecialty in Sports Medicine. I am also a naturopathic physician-I treat soft tissue pain and dysfunction with multiple modalities including acupuncture. My goals and objectives: are to put health care back into the hands of the people---Educate---Eductate---Educate! As I  teach and provide for my patients they obtain a toolbox for which to stay well. I Strive for a higher quality of being and  an all encompassing lifestyle! Every day eminating a positive attitude for all to see and be ignited by! There has never been a day in my life that I can remember that I have not been involved in a sport on a competitive level. I was involved in many sports my favorite of which was Taekwondo. I injured my left knee which ended my career in the arts and began my interest and lust for bodybuilding. I have also obtained a brown belt in Judo, and an an avid (certified ) yoga enthusiast. I was a competitive athlete in the arts and very hard core. When I got hurt I was not ready to quit competing and delved very heavily into the body building sport to swallow up my thirst for competition. Now I have the bodybuilding fever that rips through my flesh and jangles my bones. Its not about winning, it is what I learn about myself in the process that keeps me going back again and again to the competition stage:)

My favorite exercise is squatting. I really despise deltoids because they burn like fire. Maybe that is why they have a tendency to be my weak link.My back out ranks all of my body parts. It just gets shredded.

I love to train for Showtime because it inspires my personal best and always uncovers things about myself that I did not know. The off season is tough for me because I don’t like to carry around the extra weight. I do however like to indulge every once in a while (sometimes quite frequently).

A typical day-I work like a dog because I love what I do and enjoy helping people be the best that they can be both physically and mentally. When I finish at work the gym is my next stop. I would rather not sleep than not train.

My friends and family will get my spare time. Every person that is in my life brings different qualities and we never lack for adventures.

I love to travel and explore the unknown.
I like to volunteer for projects that I have no idea about.

I enjoy the self gratification about feeling good all of the time not just some of the time. The fact that I can’t wait to get out of bed and simply seize the day makes me enjoy the fitness/bodybuilding lifestyle even more.

I truly understand hardship and what it is like to pull yourself out from under the rock towards the magnificence of the sun. I lived in my car for a period of time in my life because I was so poor I could not afford a home. Sometimes it seems like it takes forever to pull the bits and pieces together to build a house with a solid foundation.
