Thank you for reading and connecting with me.
I take this opportunity to properly introduce myself. I am Jose. I’m a father of two boys, writer, and U.S. Marine. I am passionate about fitness, nutrition, and making money online. I do have a day job, though. I am an active duty U.S. Marine.
I was born and raised in San Juan, PR. I moved to Greenwood, IN for my senior year of high school. I enlisted after high school and I have been in the service ever since. That was over 20 years ago.
Throughout my years in the service, I have learned a lot. That’s when I found my first passion in fitness. Back in 2008, I deployed to Kandahar, Afghanistan. Then the Taliban had a stronghold in Helmand Province. An element of my unit cleared a town in southern Helmand Province. While conducting military operations, we have to stay in shape and stay active. This is both for our physical as well as our mental health.
That’s was when I came across bodybuilding. And began learning from no other than Arnold Schwarzenegger. I bought and read three of his books: (1) The New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding; (2) Education of a Bodybuilder; and (3) Bodybuilding for Men. I read these books from front to back. I enjoyed every word of it.
