Physical training has been part of Vic's life since his tour in the Army's Special Forces where he helped conduct physical training. Vic has made martial arts part of his life. He has acquired black belts in two martial art styles, and instructed over the years. After leaving the business world Vic became dedicated to eliminating obesity. During his consulting career he reached over 310 pounds while traveling and conducting business meetings around the world.
Strategy For Fitness was formed out of Vic's desire to apply his coaching and consulting skills, along with his physical training background to change his personal life style. During this time he developed a fitness model that has turned into his first book, Building A Strategy For Fitness: A Model To Reach And Sustain Total Fitness & Health. This model helped him lose 110 pounds and move from 39% body fat to 18% body fat. Vic is not only a technically competent fitness consultant, he has lived his book's content.
