“I remember July 22nd clear as day.  I was shoveling mulch into a wheelbarrow, doing some last-minute landscaping the day before my son’s 3rd birthday party, when I got the email notification from VShred, announcing that Vince was going live in an hour. There were many things going on in my life on that day, all with respect to my health and physical fitness, and for some reason, I knew I had to stop what I was doing and listen in. 

As a 48 year old father of two young boys (5 and 3) who was also sadly out of shape, I was failing in my job to be a role model for healthy living, and it was only a matter of time before I’d be unable to keep up with them, and play with them like a father should; the way all their friends’ fathers (who are all much younger than me) could.  I knew deep down that they deserved better. I am extremely grateful for this opportunity to transform not only my body, but my entire way of thinking about food and fitness.  

I just signed up for another 3 months, and the next goal for me will be another 30lbs down by my 49th birthday in February.  Now that I know how much I can improve in just 90 days, I am excited and inspired to do it again! Now, I’m not gonna lie, winning the contest (or at least placing in the top three) would be one of the greatest accomplishments of my life, since I was never the type to be recognized for my physical prowess.  

Winning would send an incredible message to my family, and my friends, that ANYONE can change, even someone like me, with the right inspiration, the right system, and the discipline to see it through.”
