My fitness journey began later in life than for most Personal Trainers.

43 years old, married and with young children, I was overweight and tipping the scales at 99 Kg. Not a good look at 5 Ft 7, I can assure you.

My mother’s passing however, provided a catalyst for change. I re-trained as a Personal Trainer and two years later, placed third at the Miami Pro Fitness Model championships, weighing in at 69 Kg.

My transformation wasn’t linear. I hit plateaus. I made mistakes. But I had an appetite for learning all things training and nutrition related, and this quest led me to Dr Layne Norton, a leading light in the industry for evidence-based practice, and to a blog-post he wrote, entitled, “Anabolic eating for your age.”

In his article, I learned there are fundamental metabolic differences between age groups. These differences present challenges for the mid-lifer to lose fat and build muscle, such as declining testosterone levels and anabolic resistance. The ideas discussed formed the bedrock of my research and the beginning of my quest to unlock the secrets of health and fitness for men over 40.

My book, The Midlife Alpha: Re-Engineering Men's Health Over 40, is the culmination and embodiment of these efforts.

With over a decade of coaching as a Personal Trainer behind me, my work has served as a mobile laboratory for the practical application of the ideas presented in the book.

In this context, I believe I am uniquely positioned to help you.

I have, as the photos reveal, truly “been there, done that…and bought the fat-boy T-shirt.”
