I finally did it. I wrote a book.
It’s called Heavy Metal and Weights: My Story of Guitar, Weights, Heavy Metal Workout Albums, Passion, and Building Muscle—and it’s available now on Amazon (Kindle and paperback).
What’s Heavy Metal and Weights About?
In this book, I take you back to where it all started—when I first picked up the guitar and a set of weights. Both of these passions hit me around the same time in my mid-teens (yep, late 80s-early 90s!).
From being a skinny kid getting picked on to building muscle and writing instrumental metal albums, this book is my story—and hopefully, motivation for your story, too.

Behind the Scenes of the Heavy Metal Workout Albums
I go deep into the making of my Heavy Metal Workout and Heavy Metal Workout II albums.
You’ll learn how these albums came to life, what gear I used, and how I merged my love for metal with the energy of fitness.
Workout Programs Included
I couldn’t write a book called Heavy Metal and Weights without giving you some solid training advice.
There are two weight training programs inside:
- One for building muscle and mass
- One for getting lean and shredded
You can start these right away—even if you’re new to lifting.
It’s Not Just a Story—It’s Fuel for Your Passion
This isn’t just a “how-I-did-it” story. Heavy Metal and Weights is about going after what you love. I share lessons and mindset shifts that helped me combine two passions—and turn them into something bigger.
Whether you’re into metal guitar, working out, or just need a boost of inspiration, this book will light that fire.
I poured my heart into this book. If you dig metal music, lifting weights, or want to combine your passions into something meaningful, this is for you.
