I have been teaching “Boot Camp” for about 18 years now. And every time I teach it, I LOVE it. Whether it be fitness enthusiasts, weekend warriors, kids, teams…or Marines! Yes sir. One…two…three…four…United States Marine Corps. I had the awesome opportunity to lead about 40 Marines and sailors through a Boot Camp workout this past […]
There are specific times in your life when you reflect on where and when you made a BIG decision and how it specifically affected and altered your life. Let me explain…In the summer of 1997, I met a man named Michael King in Bay Head, NJ. Specifically, he was renting a house on 1 Mount […]
For the first 18 years of my life, Brick NJ was “home.” It is where I grew up. It is my “Roots.” I have fond memories from my childhood growing up in this blue-collar, predominately middle-class community. Between school, sports, and tons of great people, it truly is one of the more unique and special […]
Goose bumps. Every time I see the footage of me getting back in the game, it fires me up. I remember the feeling of pure euphoria from that night. I remember raising my arms up in the air and screaming, “DRAGO, I DID IT!!!!!” from the top of the tower. That was in honor […]
OMG. Pandemonium. Euphoria. Shock the world. Carpe Diem. David vs. Goliath. #MiracleInTheTower Were you as shocked as me last night when I stunned the “outside” world and pulled off one of the biggest upsets of my entire career? I can honestly say what you saw last night was one of my top “sports highlights” in […]

Carpe Diem Opportunity Exists David vs. Goliath […]
Looking back to when I was filming STRONG, I remember getting that phone call from executive producer Dave Broome that he needed me back on set to compete in a “Comeback Challenge.” I also remember getting back in the car to head back to Malibu to compete to get back in the game. And here […]
In the movie Dead Poets Society there is a well-known quote that English teacher John Keating (Robin Williams) says, “CARPE DIEM.” In translation, that means “seize the day” or “seize the moment.” At the end of STRONG this past week, I walked back on set and Gabby said, “All eliminated trainers and trainees will have […]
At the end of the last Thursday’s episode of STRONG, host Gabby Reece said, “The game is about to change.” I have been inundated since last week with emails and texts from family, friends, and fans wondering what happened and what’s going on. All I know is that when I got eliminated after “Week 3” […]
On day one of meeting Devon, I had the opportunity to sit with her and ask her about her life. She was unhappy, unhealthy, and in a bad place in life. So I presented her a journal, my book, and asked her to have a mantra she could use every single day we were together […]
