Sports

My sports background is just as extensive as my education. In High School 80’ – 84’ I played and lettered in soccer, lacrosse and American football. In College and University 85’ – 89’, I played lacrosse and American football. I continued playing lacrosse Internationally in London, England during 98’ - 99’. Played in Hawaii 00’ for the King of Tonga and yet another stint in back in London 05’. Non - “competitive” sports which I also play are basketball, volleyball, soccer, touch American football, martial arts / boxing and swimming, etc. But I will be up for anything that’s active and a challenge.


Coaching

Coaching is another area which I have spent a great deal of time with. During 1990 – 94’ I coached American High School football and officiated men’s lacrosse. While in Grad school (95’ – 97’) I coached American football at California State University, Chico and officiated men’s lacrosse for the State of California’s Universities. The next coaching position was during 98’ – 00’ for the British American Football Association while at the London Olympians and a guest coach for the London Monarchs of the then NFL European League. After a brief time coaching American football in Hawaii 00’ and a few years break, was back in London 04’ – 05’ to resume coaching for the Olympians as well as the British National team. I have also been involved with the Singapore American School training, coaching and officiating since 2006.


Personal Training and Work Experience

“The human body is the human body and we all have the same basic standard physiology. It’s finding your own intensity level and being consistent which is the most important aspect of training and conditioning”.

My first clients were from way back in 1989 at 24hr Nautilus San Jose, California. Since then I have trained countless amounts of clients all over the world from all ages, races and genders. During 1994 – 95’ was my first real full time personal training position in Milburn New Jersey, USA. After Graduate school and coaching I continued personal training in London, England from 97’ – 99’ for various fitness clubs and even had my own business and clientele base. My most well know client would be Cherie Blair who is the wife of Tony Blair, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. While at the Singapore American Club, I had an opportunity to instruct US Press Secretary Tony Snow on using the Technogym "Wave" Machine. I also spent time assisting the US Ambassador to Singapore, Patricia Herbold, with the cardiovascular fitness equipment in the gym. The picture below is with former US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
