It’s been about 2 years since signing on with Shawn. Now I’ve actually known him quite a few years longer but not on a real personal level. 

When I first talked to Shawn about coaching, I told him I wanted on the stage and I wanted to do it ASAP and naturally. Having never worked together, I’m sure he would have really liked to have some time to get to know my body and how it reacts to different things. That’s not what happened. The show has been picked and agreed on. We had a mere 13 weeks to be stage ready. 

Now this prep would be far from ordinary. A few weeks in my home life started falling apart, Shawn was there for it. A couple weeks later my father’s health took a turn for the worse, Shawn was there for it. Shortly after my father passed, Shawn was there for it. To call this a normal prep, if there is such a thing, would be a far stretch of the imagination.  To top things off I competed in bodybuilding and classic. At the end of it all Shawn showed up big and got me up on stage.Starting at 188 lbs and 10% BF, sounds a lot better than it looked. Then hit the stage at 163 and just under 3% BF. 

We walked away with a total of 5 first place medals and 1 second place medals. 

Now since then I have turned 47 years young and following Shawn’s protocol I’m sitting at 200 and holding about 10% BF and still growing. Shawn’s a special human and an outstanding coach. 

We’re NOT done yet!
