 | | About Tom |  | | | | | |  | Since 1989, I have been involved in research on how to improve the quality of life and enhance athletic performance.
My academic background includes an AS in Management, BS in Exercise Science, BS in Nutrition, and MS in Kinesiology. I am a PhD candidate in Exercise Physiology at the University of Miami, and I am also a registered dietitian and licensed by the state of Florida as a dietitian and nutritionist.
I serve as president and chief executive officer of Human Performance Specialists, Inc. and Human Health Specialists where I help individuals reach their goals and I advise nutraceutical/pharmaceutical companies on effective formulations.
I was one of the first scientists to study the effects of creatine monohydrate on resistance-trained men, and have researched the effects of effervescent creatine and creatine ester even before they were available to the public. My research has included weight loss and weight gain, performance enhancement, and the effects of diet and exercise on endocrine responses to weight training. I am a member in over 30 different scientific organizations and serve as a reviewer for several peer-reviewed journals.
| | As a person who practices what I preach, I am not one to be satisfied with all work and no play. My passion is competing in various lifting events where I have been ranked nationally in power lifting, weightlifting, all around lifting, and strongman competitions. My best lifts include: 187 pounds in the one arm snatch (with 7 foot bar), 286 pounds in the power snatch, 352 pounds in the power clean and jerk, 452 in the front squat, and 615 pounds in the dead lift, all while weighing under 200 pounds. I have also set national records in strongman competitions, including 19 reps in the 200-pound axle press.
I was born in the Bronx where I learned very early in life that you have to work hard to get ahead. Hard work has paid off with numerous opportunities. These opportunities include a reference text for physicians and other healthcare professionals on sports supplements and a book on weight loss and weight gain for men. I have written articles for dozens of magazines and worldwide websites. I regularly consult for professional, Olympic, and recreational athletes and various supplement companies. I am internationally recognized as one of the top experts in the world of supplementation.
Current projects include the design of supplements geared toward improving athletic performance and increasing functional status for individuals suffering from a variety of pathological disorders.
Whether your goals are to improve your health, increase your longevity, run faster, jump farther, lift more, or just look better, I am the man to help you.
