About Me


I am only concerned with one thing:
Finding and fulfilling my purpose.
I suffer for my passions -- of which there are many -- and I'm engaged 24.7.365 in the relentless pursuit of finding and fulfilling my destiny on this earth according to the following quote:
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly...who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who have never known neither victory nor defeat." -Teddy Roosevelt
Its impossible for God to direct your steps if you're standing still.
Do you know where you're headed? We rarely do, but taking steps to get there is the best thing we can do even when we don't know where we're going.
"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment" - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Don't just work, work it.
Always sacrifice comfort for fashion.
Get serious about your image.
Have a strong day.
I'm Jeremy but I've been told by various people that I have more nicknames than any other person they've heard of (insert one here - jerbear, bravo, j brav, j bravo, johnny bravo, dawson, hova, j hove, dj hova, hollywood, gaston, more to come - perhaps you'd like to submit one for review??), I'm a complete minx (what?!) and i LOVE music and fitness. I can play percussion like a flippin' riot. (WHAT?!) I intend to spend the summer chilling and sunbathing around Florida and having a giggle.
I've been shrinking thighs and changing lives since 2005 as a personal trainer at a local YMCA. Because of this, I will be releasing an instructional fitness DVD THIS FALL. STAY TUNED FOR MORE DETAILS. It will change your life -- and make you laugh. And as they say, laughter is the best medicine.
Get serious. Get healthy. Get moving. Get outside. It's gym o'clock. Your life will never be the same again once you take it back from fast food, buffets, fried food, pill-pushing band-aid oriented health-care professionals and big pharmaceuticals.
I make an amazingly lifelike cricket noise with my mouth. Great fun in quiet movie theatres in that little space of complete quietness right between the previews and the opening credits.
I don't smoke. And I don't smoke cigars more than one every few months. But when I do, I blow smoke rings like nobodys business.
I can shoot clay pigeons with a shotgun 8 out of 10 on the first round. The funny thing is, I only get a chance to do that every 2 years or so. Imagine how good I would be if I actually tried.
I make transitions like most people change pants. Why? Because life is all about transitions and making them smoothly. Why? Because sometimes we hang on too long in a situation in which our work is done and we are being guided on to the next "thing" to influence -- hopefully positively.
