ABOUT ARCHIE

Having always been athletic, participating in sports throughout high school and maintaining an active lifestyle afterward, my core motivation stems from my family’s history of chronic and terminal illnesses. Observing the impact of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, obesity, and other chronic conditions on the mental, physical, and mobile well-being of both my maternal and paternal relatives instilled in me a strong desire to avoid a similar fate. Post-high school, my commitment to physical fitness led me to regular workouts. It was during one of these sessions that I encountered my future bodybuilding coaches, who inspired me to pursue that profession.

Now, at the age of 54, I have special appreciation for the shape I am in. I believe in the old adage “If you don’t use it, you lose it”. The same principle applies to our health. So, I don’t take for granted my ability to get up every morning and move my body. I understand that we were not designed to be sedentary and honor that principle by keeping my body and mind healthy.
