The name I'd like to be called is: Jay

I want to be listened to as someone who cares and is considerate, who knows how to listen and through understanding will empower you to achieve your dreams. I have quite a few valuable resources available for you!

Who I am and what I do
In August of 1999, I was at a dead-end, losing my breath as I bent over to tie my shoes. I was overweight, depressed, and lacked self-confidence and self-esteem. I began a journey that would ultimately transform my entire state of existence.

Jeremy Before and After
More important than the 65 pounds of fat I lost over the subsequent years (over 100 when combined with my wife's amazing transformation) was the tranformation that occured within me. I discovered my "why" - my driving passion, my ultimate desire, which is to coach others to a healthy, happy life. I started my pursuit of this dream by obtaining certifications as a fitness trainer and a specialist in performance nutrition. This, however, only addressed the "body" aspect - I later learned that to evolve, we must grow in mind and spirit as well. To this end, I began a second transformation after my mentor taught me one of the most important lessons I have learned to date - that for things to change, I must change. I invite you to join me during this amazing time of change!

My credentials include being a Certified Fitness Trainer and a Specialist in Performance Nutrition, both certifications awarded through the International Sports Sciences Association. I have been certified since 2001. I formerly ran a web-based physique consulting service named Peak Physiques (the link is an archived link from January of 2002) for a little over a year, and gained incredible experience coaching dozens of clients to good health. I am an avid student of Ian King and have remained actively involved in the fitness industry through coaching other trainers, consulting clients, and contributing articles and advice to various organizations. I was formerly a Mensa member, have been published in international trade magazines such as iSeries Network - formerly News/400 in the information technology industry, as well as on various websites in the health and fitness industry (Bodybuilding.com, DolfZine.com, and ProTrainerOnline.com). I am also an entrepreneur and business coach — learn more about creating additional income from home.

My wife receives the guest transformation award and deserves to be featured here as well. She encouraged me to begin my journey, which I did - a few months before she gave birth to our daughter! My journey in turn inspired her (thanks to the Universal Law of Reciprocation) to drop from the 175 pounds she wore during and after the pregnancy to a petite 140 ... I'm proud of you, honey! She is also pursuing her own passion in Florida real estate — visit her at Florida Luxury Living.

My home, family, pets, and pleasures I have the most wonderful family in the world (doesn't every happy husband and father say this?!) My daughter teaches me something new about life everyday. Every moment spent with my son as he becomes a man is a lesson for me to become a better father. My wife is a constant inspiration - one of my true "mastermind partners" who helps me grow as a person and in my businesses (we are not just husband and wife, but best friends and lovers). We share our home with our parrot "Bluebird", two cats, two dogs and a goldfish. It's like a jungle sometimes!

I am here to share and grow. I know that to enrich my life, I must become a better person. I hope to share my wisdom with others ready to accept it, and to gain wisdom from others ready to share it.

My top five Values are...
Honesty
Integrity
Compassion
Love
Empowerment

I love chasing my daughter and being chased by her through the house. I have fun everyday with my children, just being myself. One time a woman and her daughter approached us in a restaurant. She said she thought she recognized my daughter, but wasn't certain. Then her daughter said, "Yes, look, that man is bald - her daddy is bald. And look, he's being silly! She told me her daddy is ALWAYS silly." What a great compliment!

I am a Christian. My journey to good health led me on a journey to faith. This is not meant to judge those who have not found Christ or who practice other religions - it is not my place to judge anyone, and I welcome all visitors to my site. It is important for me to share what has helped me grow, and my faith is the anchor that has made all things possible for me. I give thanks and recognition to God, for this would not have been possible on my own.
