Joey:  My name is Joey. I am a big ethnic melting pot consisting of Filipino, Italian, Irish and Welsh! Try saying that four times fast.

I’m from a quiet town in southern California where everyone knows each other and the whole town is present for Friday night football games.

Michael:  How do you get such awesome abs, a question I am sure everybody asks.?

Joey:  I do not have the midsection I do because I was blessed with it nor do I exert myself with 1,000 crunches. I have awesome abs because I understand the science behind them. Everyone and I mean everyone has a six pack! The trick is removing those stubborn layers of fat covering them.

The one question I’m most frequently asked sounds something like this, “Joey, what’s your secret-what’s the one thing that has allowed you to build such great abs?”

So many people want to know the secret. The fact is, it’s EVERYTHING! It’s what you eat, how you exercise, how you nourish your body, rest, recovery.

Michael:  What really gives you the passion to succeed, the inspiration to excel as you obviously do in so many areas.

Joey:  I would have to say somewhere along the line my parents instilled belief in me. I’ve seen them overcome much where most people would just give up. It’s no secret, I’m a very driven person. Everyone knows it my family, friends or anyone meeting me for the first time.

Also, I’m drawn to successful people and they are drawn to me I have been very fortunate to meet and learn from some of the greatest minds. It is scientific fact that we live in a world in which everything is energy; including your thoughts! Your thoughts change the vibration of energy around you. Change your thoughts and you will change your reality…

Michael:  What are you personal and professional goals in 2008?

Joey:  I enjoy reading so one personal goal for me would be to tack a few more books under my belt. Professional, I’m brewing a few projects I would like to see them take off here in 08.

Michael:  Who are the great influences on you?

Joey:  My father for teaching me discipline, and my mother who has a huge heart.

Michael:  Share some of your interests with us..

Joey:  I enjoy many things my favorite sports are basketball and football. One of my favorite things to do is travel I love experiencing new places. Basically I’m your typical guy: gym, camping, fishing etc.

Michael:  Joey, what are your future plans?

Joey:  My main focus right now is school. I still have quite a few years ahead of me I am pursuing a doctorate in business administration (DBA). I also have been brewing some business plans for awhile now and as for fitness modeling that will always be a hobby of mine.
