ABOUT MEI'm just a guy just trying to live life the best I can. I am in the process of obtaining my MBA degree so I can move ahead in life, I believe life is a never ending learning process and from the time we are born until we die we spend learning, why does it have to end right after obtaining a degree? as there is so much to learn still.Today 4/29/08 I achieved the one thing that has been hunting me for the last few years. Today I made Master Swimmer status with all rights. Today I was given the title plus a t-shirt and an ID card. Is it a big achievement?? yes it is, well for me it is. I am happy and yet very exhausted. Today, I couldn't swim for too long but I managed to dig up a few flip turns, backstroke and shoulder rotation drills. So yes I'm happy and adored. :) MY PERSONAL LIFE:I have been given an amazing and dearest friend, she knows who she is. She is part of my life and I wouldn't have it any other way.Lately, I have devoted some of my time to help others, I have become a coach to few swimmers with their stroke and to say the least I have been very successful in making them better swimmers. Was I born to be a coach?? I don't believe so, I believe I was born to help others achieve their goals and dreams. So I have signed up for few events this year, the MSride of course which I hope my friend Jessi could join me, I've also signed up for a half marathon, a mile ocean swim and a 5k, I was thinking to run the Belmar 5miler but right now I'm not sure nor ready to run it under 40 minutes. Will keep everyone posted :)

My Interests

I have the coolest lady friend of them all, and she knows who she is, she always reminds me how good beef and potatoes go well together ;) Aside for everything personal in my life I also enjoy going to the movies and eating all different types of foods. There is this place which I can't remember the name is located at the Princeton Marketfair, OMG they have the best dumplings and their teryaki beef is excellent too. I also enjoy running 5k's, 5 milers, 10k's, Half-Marathons and full marathons. I think now swimming is becoming my fav, I also enjoy to play tennis, golf, ice skate, fishing etc. Oh yeah and skydiving, I did it 2 years ago and it was AWESOME!!!!! I can't wait to do it again :)"Thanks Tara" :)more swimming

Music:

I like all sorts of music except rap and some country music. I guess it has to do with growing listening to the The Beatles, classic rock, led Zeppelin and soft music. I also enjoy today's Pop music and some classical music as well.

Movies:

Where do I begin? I truly enjoy watching Star Wars, Jaws, The Green Mile,Silence of the lambs, Raiders of the lost Ark, etc. Way too many movies for me to write down, just ask and I will tell you. I also enjoy watching comedies, some drama and action movies. Star Trek (first contact) is one of my favorites so almost any movie will do for me even Ice Age and Shrek.

Television:

E.R., the 70's show, Grey's anatomy, PBS, Band of Brothers. I recently watched "deal or no deal" it was awesome, I also watch the survivor series and the fantastic race. Every once in a while I will switch to reruns of the family feud or the price is right but if we are talking prime time TV shows I enjoy watching Jeopardy and wheel of fortune.

Books:

Jeff Holloway's Running book and the New Jersey Road runners club weekly newsletter :) Runners world magazine, Nancy Clark's Sports nutrition Guidebook...etc. Now that I own the "total immersion:freestyle made easy" book and DVD I think it is safe to say it has provided me with so much info about swimming and how the mechanics of swimming really work. Someday I will be swimming like a fish, and cutting through water like a submarine.... stay tuned....

Heroes:

I only know a few,. My friend who passed away a few years ago after battling Melanoma is a hero, but heroes to me are those who make this world a better place to live.
