I am a marketing consultant to small and medium sized businesses. I earned my MBA from Pepperdine University in Malibu California. I also have an MA in Political Science from SFSU, and a BA in U.S. History from CSUN. When I was a teen-ager I used to be very active in sports such as soccer, football, baseball, and track. In college I worked out at the gym and was an amateur body builder. At the age ot 25 I started to pack on the weight. I was 155 pounds when I graduated high school, and 165 when I hit 21 years old, and 195 by age 26 and then up to 240 where I am as of 07/21/2008. I hardly recognize myself ... and others that knew me when I was younger do not even recognize me. I am steadfast to lose weight. My goal is to get back down to 185 if not lower.
