Career
Hank started weight training at the age of 17 in Lynnwood Washington. He started weighing 128lbs. and had the goal to build lean muscle and someday compete as a bodybuilder. Hank was always the skinny kid that everyone picked on and he felt if he was a bodybuilder that would change. HE hired his first personal trainer and listnened to everything he had to say being sure to follow it all the way. It worked. By the time Hank was 18 he was a personal trainer at Family Fitness in El Cajon CA. From there he would work in many different gyms. He was a trainer at World's Gym in Burbank CA, LA Fitness in Los Angeles CA, The Boxing Club in an Diego CA, Throwdown in San Diego CA and a few others. Hank now owns his own San Diego Personal Training Company, Train With Hank, and is living his dream of helping others reach their goals.

Training
Hank continues to use weight training as part of his workout program but has added boxing, muay thai, jiu jitsu and mma. After training in weight lifting for so long, Hank got bored of the same old thing. He ended up gaining more than 50lbs. and had a 38" waist with over 18% bodyfat. After 2 years of this Hank began trying to lift weights to get in shape again but could not get motivated. After being introduced to boxing, muay thai, jiu jitsu and mma, Hank lost over 50lbs. with a waist of 32" and under 6% bodyfat. He now incorporates these same techniques in his clients training. Hank has not only trained in thes areas but has competed in bodybuilding, jiu jitsu, boxing, muay thai and mma.
