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”. Coach Eddie Thompson 

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 former US Press Secretary Tony Snow on using the Technogym "Wave" Machine. I also spent time assisting the former 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.
