UPDATE 8/08: I took 5th in the 202 class at the Europa Pro - Photos. Congratulations to Bernadette Galvin and Hazal Nelson who had a much better Europa than I did, you finished 1-2 in the pro figure.

Congratulations to my friend and client Kathy Lee Priest on her best showing yet at the Arnold Classic and on wining the New York Pro. I promise that this year is going to be her best Olympia ever.



Also, congratulations to the my great friend and client Amber DeFransesco, for winning the overall bodybuilding Jr. Nationals. I promise that she is going to surprise everyone at the Nationals this year. Also, to Jake for taking the Middleweight by surprise and to Tim Rice, who took fifth at the JR. Nationals in the Light Heavy with the best conditioning in the show. And to my boy Bryan For taking 3rd in the Super Heavy at the Jr. USA and 4th in the JR. Nationals - next year he will get his pro card!

Congratulations to my friends and my clients Gus Carter and Vinny Galanti for earning their pro cards at the Master Nationals after years of hanging in there; it finally paid off for the both of you guys. Welcome to the IFBB. Also, congratulations to my boy Everet for taking second behind Gus. I know that he is going to be unbeatable at the North Americans. Also to the the 5th place finishers Joe and Dennis Dougherty for their great showing and I know that these 2 guys are going to be better then ever next year.

Congratulations to my friends and clients on the great showing at the USA. 2nd place finisher in the Super Heavy Kirk Defransisco, for his best placing ever and I promise that you'll be unbeatable at North Americans. 3rd to Super Heavy Grigori Atoyan, I promise you brother that no one is going to touch you at this year's Nationals. To Tamer, 4th place in Light Heavy, next year you're going to be a force to reckon with. 4th Middleweight Jake, next year it is going to be a different ball game, brother. 2nd place Welter for 'ma man' Victor, what a great showing brother and I promise you that next time you will bring the gold home.


UPDATE 12/7:
I want to congratulate my clients on their fine job at the Nationals. It was disappointing at the same time, because so many were so close to getting their pro card. Peter Putman took 2nd in the Light Heavies, Tammy Patnode the Lightweights, Grigori Atoyan 2nd in the Super Heavies, Abbas Khatami 4th in the Heavies, Monty Mabry 4th in the Light Heavies - I'm getting depressed just writing about it, so let me stop here and apologize for not mentioning everyone's name. WAIT 'TILL NEXT YEAR!


UPDATE 9/5: 23 PRO CARDS
I want to congratulate my clients on their fine job at the North American. Mike horn finally got what he deserved, a masters overall win and pro status. His wife Jan took her class and came so close to getting her card too. She will get her card no later then next year 's Masters Nationals!

Monty Mabry's second place finish was his highest ever - next year we need to work together for more than 8 weeks! In 2008 he will be a force to reckon in whatever show he decides to enter! Kirk De Francesco moved up class and he looked amazing - but I will need more then 4 weeks to get him his pro card next year :). Michele Dennis, hang in there sweetie you've had to many second place finishes. I know that their is a first place for you next year and pro card with it!


UPDATE 7/30: 22 PRO CARDS AND COUNTING!
Congratulations to all of my friends and clients on for the results they achieved in the Summer NPC shows.

USAs: DeShaun Grimez won the Heavyweight Class at the USAs to earn his pro card. Catherine Anderson is also now an IFBB pro, winning her class in figure and the overall title.

Light heavy weight winner Peter Putnam won the Light Heavies - I promise you he will get his card at the Nationals this year. Welterweight winner Mark Harris won his class also and is going to be tough to beat at the Nationals too. And to my favorite client Kevin Tomasini, you will get the respect you deserve at the North American show coming up at the end of the month. Rudy Richards had another top ten finish in the Super Heavies - I have a plan for you and your card is coming soon!

Team Universe: Congratulations to Hazale Nelson for getting her pro card at the Team Universe C Class in Pittsburg.

Master Nationals: Mike Horn took a close second in the Super Heavies as did his wife Jan in her class. I promise you'll both go pro soon. Also, congratulations to my beautiful client and friend Michele Dennis for taking a close second in her class. And to my big brother Anthony Finocchiaro, who has always listened and believed in me - Welcome to the IFBB!


UPDATE 6/5: As promised, George showed up much improved at the Colorado Pro, taking 6th overall. George will taking the rest of the year to train and come back at nothing less than number 1 in 2008

UPDATE 5/29: George at the Keystone Classic I want to thank my fans for all of their support. I did my best to be on that stage in the best shape that I can be without hurting myself. The doc gave me the OK to train for the show only 10 weeks out, so I basically had 6 weeks to diet down. I hope this weekend you will see something different at the Colorado show.

I also want to thank Optimum Nutrition and American Bodybuilding for all of their support. They are a super company with a great products and they are an awesome crew to work for.
