• Born in New York City, son of Hungarian blue collar parents.
  
  
• Grandfather was a world-famous World-Cup Soccer Champion so if I inherited any athletic attributes it was from Grandpa.
  
  
• Grew up as a fat, out of shape kid with little drive and discipline until I started working out in 1977.  Within 6 months of working out and learning how to eat, my waist size dropped from 42 to 32 inches.  Training also provided me with discipline and structure bringing my school grade average from 65 to 97 in the same six months.
  
  
• First competition was the 1981 WBBG (World Bodybuilding Guild) Mr. New York City – won first place in the teen division.
