I’ve known Chizi for 15 years, and he has always been the strongest person I know. Understandably so because he has consistently included exercise into his daily routine since the day I met him in the early years of high school. He is one of the many people I define as successful - traveling to more countries in the world than I can think of. He goes from working hard to hardly working practically every weekend. But, I have also come to learn that he sees me in the same light (success) with the wife and kids that I have been truly blessed with. One day soon we will obtain each other’s riches and share in the moments of traveling with our families while squeezing in a good lifting session before getting on the plane. He is extremely humble, intelligent, and has grown further in touch with his true self inspiring me to do the same through conscious effort – mentally and physically.
