It's SUMMER!!!

Hey all..so sorry I have not checked in sooner...it's been a whirlwind month in May!!
There was the NY Pro and the Colorado Pro two weeks a part. Tons of travel, visiting, working, etc.. you get the idea. It was great to see friends, Silvio Samuel, Toney Freeman, Phil Heath, Cathy LaFrancois, Adela Garcia, Kim and Rob Klien, Steve Stone, Melvin Anthony, Shawn Ray, Jeff Taylor, Branch Warren...just to name a few in the 2 events.


Dave Henry brought his shredded package that we are all used to seeing to Colorado and took a 5th place. The whole line-up was a more asthetically pleasing group. Kai Greene worked his way up the ranks to take a well deserved first place in CO. He really stunned the NY audience with his conditioning and ever entertaining posing routine to get the nod the next weekend at the Keystone to move up a few places and then to take the show in CO! He is a quick rising star and I., for one, am glad to see this guy work his way up!

Silvio Samuel is another rising star...signed with AMI and Muscle Tech, always smiling and jolly backstage, not placing out of the top 5 in the last 4 or 5 shows he has done...he has brought his mid section down and is displaying a tiny waist and full muscle bellies...keep an eye on this guy!!!

It was awesome seeing my gurl..Nicki twice this month! Western MA just isn't the same without her!!

I am still waiting to see the efforts from my DVD shoot in Atlanta but I am told it is almost done and I look forward to seeing what Jay Hammet has put together for me.

I am looking forward to changes in career...personal training and more work with Protan are in the future to get me out of state service soon!!! It's time that I live in the positive light instead of the dark...too much darkness just can consume a person no matter how hard they try to stay in the light!!! I am feeling really good about my decisions for the rest of the year and will keep you posted!!

Bodybuidling travel is in full force...Jr. Natioansl in Chicago is upon us this weekend. I have been preparing Lori Steele, light weight woman BB and she is looking ON TARGET I am very excited for her and can't wait to see the finished product. Now I really know how Tim feels...this stuff is nerve RACKING!!! Tim will be in Chicago with Brandie and Diana Cook competing so it will be family affair/TEAM BODY TECH crew!!! I love it when that happens on a work weekend!!!!
I really miss Tampa, Tim, the TEAM and Jose....I gotta plan a trip soon!!!

Plans for Iraq are still being worked on..they are looking to bring us out at the end of August which will really be a bad time. It will be 3 weeks form the Atlantic City and a month out from the O...it will be 140 degrees and we are still looking for sponsorship $$$ to get us to Kwait!!! We'll see...I will keep you posted on this too!!!

So much to look forward too.

My website will be getting an overhaul, new front page, new and updated picture gallery...stay tuned for this months newsletter and the "new Look".

Until next time!
MAKE IT COUNT!!!!!
