My Personal Bio:

Hello all! My name is Joel, born and raised in sunny San Diego California. I’m currently living an hour north of San Diego Temecula/Murrieta. I am married to my beautiful wife with 2 little girls’ ages 3.5yrs and the little one 7 months. I work for Sony Electronics as a Software Engineer and as a Magician on weekends.

After my success with my first round of P90X, I've been looked at as some kind of role model to my friends at work and family. I've started introducing them to the Beach Body products and am helping them along their journey to a much healthier fit life. My online coach brought to my attention that I can do all that and get compensated for coaching just joining in Team Beach Body. I wanted to learn more and hear about this business side and so my coach invited me to the Coaches Summit meeting in Anaheim California.

I've attended Beach Body's first Coaches Summit Meeting March 6th and 7th in Anaheim California of 2008 which inspired me more to become a coach and to help change lives in this nation of ours. I am thrilled to be part of Team Beach Body and I believe that this is one of the best things I've ever signed up for. What can beat helping people or even saving lives of certain individuals? Why not get paid for doing something you are passionate about. I am here for all of you and will do my best to help each and one of you reach your goals.


If I am assigned as your personal coach, please email me right away so that I can assist you with any questions, concerns, comments, product info, motivation, nutrition, workout tips...the list goes on. I CANNOT contact you first. This is just a rule Team Beach Body has. Please contact me first and I will be able to get back to you as soon as possible! Good luck on your journey...I'll be here waiting and continuing my journey to a much fit and healthier life.

My Transformation Story:

About me, I've picked up some bad habits when I was in my early 20's. I've been a smoker for about a little over 10 years as well as a binge drinker who just loved alcohol. Ever since I've had my daughters my life has changed and has made me open my eyes and want to change my lifestyle. I'm still working at it which is why I'm here.

The good thing is that I have finally quit smoking them darn cancer sticks...Finally! How I did it? I was actually 40 pounds overweight and thinking of my daughters, I wanted to live long and strong to watch them grow up healthy and to have a father by their side as someone to look up to and as their best friend. I also wanted to be a positive influence to my daughters so that they too will be able to live a happy healthier life. Being 40 pounds overweight, smoker and an alcoholic I've realized that I'm only killing myself. I've signed up for my first half marathon race to force me to get off my butt, start doing some cardio and quit smoking. When I finished my first half marathon, it did help me quit my smoking habits and also helped me lose 10 pounds. I was on a roll. I decided to run another half marathon the same year (this year 2007) and it still kept me off the cigarettes and kept my drinking down a bit. I weighed myself and felt like I’ve hit a plateau and I wasn’t losing anymore weight. With all the running I was doing, I was also doing workouts from these navy seal training videos that I’ve always been a huge fan of. I was able to run long, do 13 pull-ups and 80-90 pushups. I still wasn’t losing weight or getting ripped.

I finally saw the infomercial on the P90X videos/workout. I started doing more research on the net, reading forums, checking out all the success stories. I've even gotten a hold of Perry Tinsley whom we have been emailing back and forth with each other. He’s one of the popular success stories on P90X website and infomercial. I’m very proud to meet him and have found another friend, especially who is a great motivator. I can now say that he is my personal online coach and is such an awesome individual. When I watched the infomercial and have done my research, I’ve thought to myself…”This is IT”! This is what I need to get me where I want to be! Muscle confusion? This is brilliant! I am now a proud owner of the P90X series and excited to push myself to “Bring it” 6 times a week. Thanks Beach Body and Tony Horton for coming up with this idea. I’m a true believer.

I have finally graduated from my first round of P90X. I've lost 20 lbs. more from when I've started the P90X program and I feel awesome! I've lost another 10 lbs. from my second round of P90X which takes me to a total of 40lbs. I've never felt this fit my entire life. I will continue to push play for as long as my heart keeps beating.
