Ross, do you still fight?
No, my competitive days ended many years ago after suffering repeated hand injuries. I am now in my 30's and enjoy my role as a coach and trainer. I am still highly involved in the gym however, and practice what I preach. My experience as a younger fighter has certainly influenced my training style, both personally as well as with my athletes.
Below are some pictures from earlier in my life. The first is of me at age 4, while the rest come from the early 1990's.

Ross, why do you train so hard if you are no longer competitive?
I am a 100 percent natural athlete who lives for a challenge. When I was younger, I had hand injuries and was too ignorant to allow myself time to properly heal. I made more mistakes than I could list in a book, so I hope to help others from doing the same.
The only way I can accomplish this goal is by leading from the front. I strive to motivate others to get up and exercise. The human body is so much more capable than most will ever realize. I will continue to push myself to my limits, as I don't take any day for granted. Life comes and goes in a flash, so I'll cram as much into each day as humanly possible.
