I am ACSM-HFI, NASM-CPT certified personal trainer located in Las Vegas, NV. I do private in-home personal training, strategic body sculpting for women and figure coaching for bikini competitors. I am formally educated in pre-medicine and exercise science at Iowa State University and the US Naval Electronics A-schools.

I was born in Camp Lejeune (a Marine air station in North Carolina). My mother is Filipina and my father was a marine back from the Vietnam war, where he met my mother. They divorced when I wasn't even a year old. My mother remarried to another Marine and moved to Panama City, Fl where I lived from age 5 to 18. Growing up, I was unlike my siblings. I was considered remarkably intelligent, athletic & talented in the performing arts. I was also extremely hyper and unable to focus on anything for more than a couple of minutes; my grades showed this. Most of my time at school I was off in lala land and could never remember anything! I also suffered from severe insomnia and intermittent allergic reactions to things I wasn't allergic to before. I continually failed my high standard setting parents in just about everything academic, but I excelled in many sports, especially softball. I ran the 800m run in track & field, where I was always 3rd place at the meets (never worse or never better). I also excelled in the performing arts, especially acting and singing, but my parents quickly put a stop to that; I always thought it was because they feared I'd give up on academics to move to LA to try to become a superstar. I can't blame them for being over protective and over safe.

After high school, I joined the US Navy. Basic training was not a physical challenge to me. I even came out with a roaring 6 pack and a body worthy of an NPC figure competition. My physique stayed all through my military service. During my service, I developed migraine headaches which doctors could not help me control, and I was eventually discharged for a seizure disorder that was exasperated by alcohol use. It was the "Asian flush" gene I inherited.

After my discharge, with nowhere to go and no idea what to do with my life. I fell into a world of drugs and alcohol after meeting some bodybuilders in Florida. Thus starts my 9 year battle with myself against illegal and prescription drug abuse, low self esteem, depression and my own health issues. All ending in 2006 with a win at a bodybuilding show in San Diego, CA.
