Dr. Steve

August update:

I had a great time at the New York Super Quarterly, which had over 800 attendees. It was wonderful to see the program directors from New Zealand, the US trainers, and a whole bunch of LMI instructor friends from all over the US. I can hardly wait to launch the new releases!

===================================================
July update:

On July 19th, we launched BA61 and BP66 in Austin. I had a blast launching BP with Jim and BA with Patti and Tio. Thanks for joining me, gang! Two new pics are in the image gallery.

FORMERLY little-known facts for my TAGGING:

1. I am a computational physicist, which most of my class participants are generally surprised to learn. I got my PhD in physics 15 years ago from the University of Texas at Austin. I specialized in nonlinear dynamics, specifically pattern formation in nonlinear systems.

2. I love to combine science and entrepreneurship. I have spent the last 2.5 years working nights and weekends on my start-up company (www.paragonscience.com).

3. I was born and raised in Los Alamos, New Mexico (hence, the whole physics thing), and worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory for six summers during my undergrad and graduate years. Naturally, I got a lot of "Do you glow in the dark?" comments when I went to college.

4. I had a Q security clearance from the Department of Energy at the Secret level right out of high school, due to my work at LANL (see #3).

5. I speak French and spent the fall of 1986 studying in Aix-en-Provence, France, which was a fabulous experience. I feel somewhat rusty now, but I fell right back into it when SteveO and I went to France and Italy in 2004.

6. I don't play a lot these days, but I spent 20+ years playing piano, leading music groups, and writing orchestral arrangements for church, starting in 9th grade. (That's actually how I met my hubby, SteveO; he was directing one choir and I another at the University Catholic Center in Austin.)

I've been teaching group fitness classes since late 1995 and really love staying active and helping others get or stay fit. I've taught BODYPUMP since 2002, and I did my BODYATTACK training with Kendall Kimball (Yay, Kendall!) in December 2005.

I'm a computational physicist and entrepreneur, currently doing consulting to fund my start-up company -> www.paragonscience.com.
