Hello everyone.....

I have been very busy lately. It started with the Team Universe, this weekend was intense. My dear friend Malea Jensen ended up winning the MW Bodybuilding and will be going nhe Worlds, so a huge congrats. Way to follow in my footsteps, eh?

I ended up helping 8 people for that show and it was a bit overwhelming with having my own contest preparation to deal with.

Then, the next weekend we traveled to Pittsburgh for the Master's Nationals.. that could have been the all time record for the longest show ever. I believe it started at 6 p.m. and ended at 1:30 a.m. I would say that is a bit long.

That was a very tragic weekend. A dear friend of both Dave and I lost his life that weekend. He had a pre-existing heart condition and had a massive heart attack just hours before pre-juding on Friday night. It was so tragic. He was such a great guy. He was from Rhone Island and will be our memories. Once again.. it just makes you reflect on how fleeting a moment life can be.

Now, I am here at the USAs. I am just 4 weeks out from my show and feeling good. I have to get up early and train legs and then finish with some cardio. The rest of the day I am going to try and relax and hit a photo shoot with Dan Ray. He is one of my favorite photographers.

I just wanted to keep you up to date with what is going on over here in myh world. It is never a dull moment. All I can say.. traveling three weekends in a row is just about taking its toll on me. But, I am managing.
