I will kick-off this post by asking a series questions:
- What is choice ?
- What is consequence?
- Is consequence the result of choice?
These are all important questions to ponder on, especially with the latter question being rhetorical in nature. Let’s return to them later. I struggled greatly with choosing a title for this post because I am presenting a three-fold message. It is one-part “announcement,” one-part “confirmation,” and one-part “request.”
To bring the newer members of the Adonis Golden Ratio community up to speed, this blog post is also the latest installment in the Golden Eye for the Adonis Guy series. In which several topics are discussed regarding my experiences, observations and “lessons learned” from fitness/fashion shows and my association with the fitness modeling industry.
The Golden insight I’m privileged to share with you comes from the results of applying the “Adonis Golden Ratio” workouts & philosophy to my personal goals/endeavors.
“The Announcement”
I’m excited to announce that I’ve been chosen as a finalist to compete in the 2013 FIT USA Fitness model
competition. Out of the 600+ contest entries, the top 10 male and top 10 female competitors were selected to compete in a “Live” competition on June 8th at the Century Link Arena in Boise, Idaho. The opportunity to compete in a “National-Level” Competition such as this was a great honor to me as I was the only Military member for the male division.
Here’s a pic announcing my selection as a FIT USA Finalist:

“The Confirmation”
Having trained exclusively with the Adonis Golden Ratio system for more than three years, I’m extremely confident that AGR can serve as a road map to achieve your fitness goals and so much more.
My confirmation in this belief originates back to the very origins of my fitness journey.
Growing up I played sports with a particular interest in wrestling. I found wrestling to be challenging both physically and mentally. A unique requirement of the sport was that of weight management; in order to compete, I had to make weight before each match. This taught me valuable life-long lessons of both discipline and accountability.
Discipline was needed to properly prepare for a match and I learned what it meant to be accountable because my coaches’ and teammates depended on me to make the weigh-in.
Now serving as a military officer, I subscribe to the Air Force Core Values which are: Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in all we do. I’m grateful for the lessons learned from wrestling and the military because I’ve been able to apply those same skill sets toward my fitness model endeavors.
The ability to view my “Physique as a Business” was first presented to me by the AGR system. Upon this discovery I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to compete in Men’s Physique Fitness Competitions, graced the runway in several prominent fashion shows, and have published work as a fitness model. This success adds further confirmation to the fact that, “The Sky is the Limit” when it comes to applying the AGR system.
Nevertheless, I’m very proud to serve as an Electrical Engineer in the Air Force and as an Ambassador to the AGR system, also known as “The Golden Army.”

“The Request”
At the beginning of the post I posed a series of questions:
- What is choice ?
- What is consequence?
- Is consequence the result of choice?
I believe the answers to these questions can be answered by the quote below:
“We are free to choose our paths, but we can’t choose the consequences that come with them.” – Sean Covey
As ” The Golden Army” continues to grow by leaps and bounds I’d like to encourage the members, especially the newer one’s participating in the Adonis Transformation Contest (AT11) to remember that consistency and effort are the little things that when done on a regular basis make for the greatest transformation in a relatively short amount of time.
But don’t just take my word for it!
