Mission Not Impossible
Hi everyone! With the new format here and the further upgrades planned to the site thanks to the awesome work by Webmeetsworld.com, I wanted to share what I and FitMedic is about and will be in the future.
As many of you may know(or not), I have been a paramedic here in NYC for the past 12 years. Ive seen some amazing things and stuff that I'd just as soon forget. But the underlying theme was that I see many people who are at their worst points in their lives.
Not surprisingly, my health had gone down a disturbing path at the same time. Too much idle time combine with binge eating the worst foods piled on the pounds and the problems started. Finally it took an intervention by family and a abrasive in-your-face Dr. to finally set me on my path.
As I got healthier, it spurred me on to learn more about my body, myself, and health in general. Along the way I started training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BBJJ! OSS!) and started eating Paleo, and along the way met amazing people who encouraged me to keep on going. I recieved my personal trainer certificate from NASM and soon after my certification as a Fitness Nutrition Specialist.
So now, my goal is to pay it forward. I have seen firsthand what happpens to people who dont take care of themselves and I want to help keep it from happening. I want to work with everyone form high-end athletes to couch potatoes taking the first step. I want to share what I know and continue learning to help people reach the potential they may not know they have.
So I make it clear to you now, as this blog and website grow, so will I. I will continue to learn, write, encourage, lay the hammer down when necessary and be the best trainer I can be, Understand that yes, FitMedic is a business, but my business is my passion and i think its pretty cool.
Thats it in a nutshell, im looking forward to getting to know you. You will hear from me soon, and often.
