Origin Story
I have been training since 1982. I have been a Certified Personal Trainer since 1995, and I'm a 5% sponsored athlete. Through the years I have worked for EAS, MetRx and other nutritional companies. Working in the industry has allowed me to meet and train with a wide variety of competitive athletes and IFBB Pro Bodybuilders. I have educated myself on many styles of training and have been able to document my success. I created SMP in 2007 to allow me to share with others my knowledge on improving health and overall wellness.

My focus now is helping others achieve their goals through old school training and nutritional coaching. My beliefs in both have always aligned with Rich's thoughts on bodybuilding and nutrition.
