I have always had an interest in fitness and weight lifting.  I began lifting as a teenager, however, pursued another field for work.  In my late twenties, I began participating in light heavy-weight weight lifting competitions.  I won three titles - Mr. Philadelphia, Mr. New Jersey & Mr. Baldwin Hills.  I stopped competing when the use of steroids became overwhelming in the competitions.  When I began competing, I also got my certification as a personal trainer & began to support myself in that career.  I moved to LA in 1997, and devoted myself to pursuing my dream of becoming a personal trainer.  I taught many group exercise classes at many clubs throughout Southern California, and became known for salsa dancing.  My professional name is "King T", and I also developed salsa aerobics before anyone else was doing it out in LA.  With a strong reputation as a pro salsa dancer, I built my own business during that timeframe, and focus now primarily on boxing training.
