If you have been following me for any period of time now you probably know that in addition to having a personal training studio on Main Street in Boonton I’m also a motivational speaker and modern-day performing strongman.

Last week I performed/presented at a convention in Texas consisting of physical educators, dance instructors and others involved in keeping kids active and moving. Check out the highlights and behind the scenes.

On a personal note, I was glad that I could pay tribute to Slim the Hammerman who passed away last week. His advice to me was not only inspiring but also critical to my career. I was always nervous that I wasn’t worthy of the title and every time I performed in front of him, I was scared to death of failing, but I always got the nod that said I was worthy.

Now he looks upon us from above I hope to continue to pay worthy tribute to him.

In the tradition of the strongmen more common during the turn of the century, he performs feats of strength such as bending steel and breaking chains as part of a show and speaks on goal achievement for corporations, nonprofits, government as well as for schools and universities. His exclusive personal training studio is located on Main Street in Boonton New Jersey, is close to Mountain Lakes, Denville, Montville and Parsippany New Jersey.
