How exactly did you come up with the screen name,
IT'S FROM MY TIME AS A FREE-FALL PARACHUTIST IN THE ARMY.
Are you a big Star wars fan?
THE STAR WARS LINK IS UNFORTUNATE - I AM NOT A FAN. I LEAN MORE TOWARD STAR TREK,THOUGH I AM BY NO MEANS A TREKKIE.
How old were you when you joined the army? What were the factors that lead to you joining?
I GRADUATED COLLEGE AT 21, HAD DONE ROTC IN SCHOOL AND BECAME AN
OFFICER UPON COMPLETION. I PLAYED BASKETBALL IN COLLEGE AND HAD THE CHANCE TO PLAY PRO OVERSEAS. I PROBABLY HAD A LONG SHOT TO MAKE IT BACK TO THE NBA AS A 'BENCH-FILLER' - THOSE GUYS WHO SIGN 10-DAY DEALS. BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO SPEND MY 20'S OVERSEAS WAITING FOR A BREAK, ONLY TO RETURN HOME AT 35 AND HAVE NO REAL SKILLS.
I DID ROTC BECAUSE I HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WANTED TO DO BESIDES PLAY
BASKETBALL, BUT I KNEW I DID *NOT* WANT TO BE IN THE 'RAT RACE'.
How did you first come to find Elite Fitness?
I WAS OUT OF THE ARMY, LOOKING FOR WORK, KILLING SOME TIME ON THE WEB IN BETWEEN JOB SEARCHES. I CAME ACROSS THE BOARD AND THOUGHT IT WAS KINDA COOL. I WAS DOING PERSONAL RESEARCH ABOUT AAS USE, AND IT WAS A LAID-BACK PLACE TO JUST ASK QUESTIONS.
You have a reputation on the boards as the "rich guy." Do you consider yourself "rich" by current standards?
I LIVE A VERY COMFORTABLE LIFESTYLE. TO ME, 'RICH' HAS ALWAYS MEANT
FORBES LIST AND PRIVATE PLANE, ENOUGH MONEY TO CONTROL ALL OF YOUR TIME. BY MY STANDARDS, THEN, NO.
Can you tell us a little bit about how you make your money?
OUR BUSINESS PROVIDES SERVICES TO THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY (LEGAL MOSTLY, SOME OTHER STUFF) I ALSO WORK IN PHARMACEUTICAL MARKETING AND REAL ESTATE. IN THE PAST I HAVE WRITTEN SOME BOOKS AND CONTINUE TO WRITE. OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS I WILL BE MOVING MORE TOWARD DEVELOPING BUSINESSES THAT ARE BASED ON EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION, PARTICUARLY EDUCATION AND ENTERTAINMENT.
Can you give us an idea what type of revenue you'd typically make from one of your books?
USUALLY BETWEEN 100K AND 200K INCUDING INTERNATIONAL SALES, OVER A
PERIOD OF THREE YEARS. THIS NEXT ONE I CAN TIE OTHER SERVICES TO IT (SPEAKING ETC.) IF I GET THIS RIGHT AND THE OTHER SERVICES DEVELOP, IT COULD BE A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR ANNUAL OUTCOME.
Are your books something we'd be able to find in the local Barnes and Noble?
PROBABLY NOT ANYMORE, BUT THEY WERE SOLD AT MAJOR RETAILERS AND AT AMAZON. THEY WERE I.T. RELATED SO THEY WERE QUICKLY OUTDATED. I SAW THE SECOND EDITION AT THE STORE THE OTHER DAY; I DIDN'T WRITE IT.
Do you own the business you work for now?
I DON'T OWN THE 'BIG' ONE, BUT I REPORT DIRECTLY TO THE
OWNER/FOUNDER/CHAIRMAN/CEO. I OWN A FEW OTHERS.
What is your job title?
IT DEPENDS WHO IS ASKING. AT MY DAY JOB I WORK IN THE 'OFFICE OF THE CHAIRMAN'. IN THE BUSINESSES I OWN IT IS WHATEVER I NEED IT TO BE.
What is your educational background like?
I HAVE A B.S. IN MATH.
How important is a college education?
COLLEGE IS IMPORTANT IF - AND ONLY IF - YOU ARE
READY FOR IT. IT IS A WONDERFUL CHANCE TO REALLY GROW AND LEARN A LOT. I WAS NOT READY FOR IT, AND SPENT THE FOUR YEARS DRINKING AND SCREWING OFF. MY FRIENDS AND I USED TO GO TO CLASS DRUNK. WE OFTEN PATTED OURSELVES ON THE BACK WHEN WE FINISHED OUR FIRST BEER BEFORE NOON ON WEEKDAYS. I THREW UP IN THE COMPUTER LAB ONCE DURING CLASS. I WASN'T READY AND DIDN'T BENEFIT AS MUCH AS I COULD HAVE.
I DON'T THINK MOST 18 YEAR OLDS ARE READY EITHER.
Coming from the military background, was it difficult to transition to civilian life?
THE HARDEST TRANSITIONS TO CIVILIAN LIFE WAS THE LACK OF PEOPLE TO GO OUT AND DO STUFF WITH. IN THE ARMY, YOU'VE GOT FRIENDS. THEY ARE JUST THERE. AND YOU HAVE A LOT OF TIME OFF. SO WHEN A 4 DAY WEEKEND COMES, YOU GRAB YOUR FRIENDS AND HIT THE ROAD. WE USED TO GO TO PANAMA CITY FLORIDA AND NEW ORLEANS ALL THE TIME.
CIVILIAN LIFE IS NOT LIKE THAT. FIRST, CO-WORKERS ARE NOT YOUR
FRIENDS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY WORK FOR YOU. SECOND, THERE ARE NO 4 DAY WEEKENDS. LAST, ARMY LIFE DOESN'T HAVE MUCH IN THE WAY OF POLITICS LIKE THE CIVILIAN WORLD. IN THE ARMY, WE HAD A JOB TO DO, AND YOUR RANK WAS YOUR RANK, AND DID THE JOB. CIVILIAN WORLD, EVERYONE WANTS YOUR TIME AND TRIES TO MAKE A GOOD IMPRESSION.
What was the first job you did after you got out of the Army?
I WAS A FITNESS TRAINER AT A LOCAL GYM FOR A FEW MONTHS.
I understand you live in Florida, how do you like it? What is the best and worst part of living there?
I LIVE IN JACKSONVILLE, WHICH IS MORE GEORGIA THAN FLORIDA. HAVING
GROWN UP IN NY, AND LIVED IN SEATTLE, ATLANTA AND NEW ORLEANS, I AM
UNIMPRESSED BY THE CITY LIFE HERE IN JACKSONVILLE. FOR THAT REASON I AM BUILDING A VERY LARGE HOME HERE; I WANT IT TO BE LIKE A PRIVATE ISLAND WHERE I GET WHAT I NEED AND AVOID THE PEOPLE OF THIS CITY.
GOOD STUFF: THE WEATHER IS REALLY GREAT. AVERGAE TEMP IN JANUARY IS 63 DEGREEES, WHICH IS GREAT. AND I AM CLOSE TO SO FUN PLACES: MIAMI/ FT LAUDERDALE / PALM BEACH, AS WELL AS ATLANTA AND CHARLESTON.
Will you consider having an EF meetup at your new "private island?"
WHEN THE HOUSE IS DONE I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE EF PEOPLE OVER.
CONSTRUCTION DELAYS HAVE SET IT BACK SOMEWHAT, BUT WHEN IT IS DONE I WILL CONSIDER AN EF THROW-DOWN.
Have you met anyone in person from EF? Can you describe the experience(s).
I HAVE MET 4 PEOPLE FROM EF, ALL WOMEN. ALL BUT ONE WERE WONDERFUL EXERIENCES AND I AM GLAD TO HAVE HAD THEM. ONE OF THEM ENDED UP NOT GOING TOO WELL; SHE GOT EXTREMELY DRUNK AND ACTED SILLY. SHE NO LONGER POSTS HERE. THE OTHER THREE I STILL TALK TO REGULARLY AND CONSIDER THEM FRIENDS. EXCEPT FOR THAT ONE BAD EXPERIENCE, I HAVE GONE OUT WITH THE OTHER THREE SEVERAL TIMES EACH.
You say one EF member you met acted "silly," come on, you gotta give us some more detail then that, I'm not asking you to name names here or anything.
OK.
SHE CAME TO VISIT AND WE HUNG OUT FOR A WHILE, HAD DINNER ETC. AFTER DINNER WE WENT OUT FOR A FEW DRINKS - NOTHING EXCESSIVE, JUST BEERS. WE HUNG OUT WITH SOME OF MY LOCAL FRIENDS, AND SHE JUST GOT RIDICULOUSLY DRUNK. SHE WAS SITTING ON THE CURB OUTSIDE THE BAR, SPEAKING UNINTELLIGIBLY ETC. I HAD TO CARRY HER HOME.
I DO WANT TO STRESS THAT BEFORE THE DRINKS WE HAD A GREAT TIME. SHE WAS VERY NICE.
Are you currently single? Married? Dating? Just casually banging chicks?
I'M SINGLE. I'VE DATED MAYBE 20 WOMEN THIS YEAR. DATING FOR ME IS
PRETTY TOUGH; I AM ABLE TO DO THINGS LIFESTYLE-WISE THAT SOMETIMES SKEWS PERSPECTIVES.
ALL MY DATES GO WELL FROM 'HER' VANTAGE POINT - I AM A SMART GUY AND WE ARE OUT DOING THINGS SHE COULD NEVER DO ON HER OWN; EXPENSIVE RESTAURANTS, TRAVEL ETC. SO A LOT OF WOMEN BASICALLY TELL ME ON THE FIRST DATE "YOU WANT IT, YOU GOT IT". UNLESS I ACTUALLY AM INTERESTED THOUGH, I DON'T PURSUE ANYTHING SEXUAL.
What exactly is it you are looking for in the women you date?
INTELLIGENCE, SENSE OF HUMOR, CONFIDENCE, KINDNESS AND NOT BEING
OBSESSED WITH THEIR CAREERS.
Who are some of your favorite Chat Board posters?
MIGHT AS WELL JUST THROW UP A LIST: ATLANTABIOLAB, NORDSTROM, NATURE BOY, WODIN, SUPERSODOMIZEME, HAVOC (ONLY AFTER HE SMOKES), FRACKAL, TIERVEXX, AAP, LESTAT, PHATCHIK, BFOLD, FITFOSSIL, VELVETT, BO-DEN, SYNPAX...I AM SURE THERE ARE MORE.
What about least favorite?
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO COME JUST TO POST BULLSHIT. I KNOW IT IS A CHAT BOARD, BUT THERE ARE POSTERS WHO JUST POST UP NONSENSE.
Can you tell me briefly what you though about the whole Kronk/Citruscide/et. al fiasco?
MY INTERACTIONS WITH KRONK AND CITRUS WERE ALWAYS AMICABLE. I STAYED 'OUT OF IT' AS BEST I COULD. OTHER MODS MIGHT KNOW MORE. I JUST HOPE THEY HAVE MOVED ON AND ARE DOING WELL - I AM NOT TALKING WITH THEM BUT I WISH THEM SUCCESS IN THEIR ENDEAVORS.
What is your fitness routine like?
I USED TO WANT TO LIFT THE WHOLE GYM, AND I GOT UP TO 273 POUNDS. (I AM 6-2). I WAS BENCHING, SQUATTING I GOT TO THE POINT WHERE I FELT HEAVY AND DEADLIFTING ALONG WITH SOME OTHER EXERCISES FOR ARMS AND BACK.
GOALS ARE DIFFERENT NOW. I RUN EVERY MORNING, AND I LIFT 2 DAYS ON,
ONE DAY OFF. I AM MORE INTERESTED IN MAINTAINING THAN GROWING. I AM 6-2, ABOUT 230. QUITE LEAN.
Wow, 6'2" 230 and lean. That is pretty big by most people's standards, how much a role did AAS play in your training?
I HAVEN'T DONE AAS IN A WHILE. THEY HELPED ME TO MAKE SOME NEW
STRENGTH GAINS, AND ACTUALLY TAUGHT ME THAT I DO NOT WANT TO LOOK LIKE RONNIECOLEMAN. I ALSO FEEL LIKE I KNOW MY BODY A LOT BETTER AFTER AAS USE.
What are some of your current personal goals? Fitness? Work? women? etc.
FITNESS: JUST GET IN THERE EVERY DAY AND TRAIN HARD.
WORK: I'D LIKE TO GET TWO MORE MAJOR INSURANCE CLIENTS. I AM ALMOST DONE WITH ANOTHER BOOK - WANT TO GET IT PUBLISHED BY YEAR END AND THEN START GIVING SPEECHES ON THE SUBJECT MATTER.
WOMEN: JUST KEEP LOOKING.
What motivates you in life?
I BELIEVE IN THE PHRASE "MUCH IS EXPECTED OF THOSE TO WHOM MUCH HAS BEEN GIVEN".
THE MORE OF MY TIME I CONTROL, THE MORE I CAN CHANGE THE WORLD.
What accomplishment are you most proud of?
GRADUATING US ARMY RANGER SCHOOL.
What is your favorite and least favorite part of being an Elite Moderator on the boards?
I LIKE BEING ABLE TO HELP GEORGE OUT; HE IS A REALLY GOOD GUY AND HAS
BEEN VERY NICE TO ME IN MY TIME HERE.
LEAST FAVORITE - PEOPLE THINK WE HAVE ALL THIS POWER AND JUST LOVE TO USE IT; LIKE I CAN FIND YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS OFF OF OUR POSTS.
WE CONTROL THE POSTS; THAT'S IT.
Isn't it true that mods on elite get free gear?
THAT'S BULLSHIT...BUT WE CERTAINLY GET A LOT OF OFFERS OF FREE GEAR IF WE AGREE TO 'RECOMMEND' CERTAIN SOURCES.
