Fitness has always been a part of my life. But the real magic happened when Shin and I first started working out together in 2001.

Back then, we lived in California and I was working as a software engineer. I loved coding (I'm a geek at heart), but each day, I couldn't wait be finished sitting in front of the computer and actually move my body -- and I was getting bored of my long, boring, gym routine.

When I met Shin, he taught me things that I never could have imagined I could do. I had no idea I could lift heavy weights or do Olympic Power Lifting techniques. Or that high intensity was the key to shorter, more effective workouts that get you better results. I was sold and so inspired, it became a passion. I became a Certified Personal Trainer and the rest is history.

Since 2008, we've been sharing our workouts with the world and the response has been more than we could have ever dreamed. Over 500,000 people have done Max Workouts and we're still growing!
