What advice would you give to someone who wants to be a Masseur?

First of all, train seriously, whether that is at a massage school or at a community college or in a certificate program or with a mentor.

Second, make sure you enjoy being around people and are not judgmental--learn to accept everyone for who he is, and realize your job is to help him feel better, physically and emotionally.

And finally--have some fun with your work! This is the BEST job you could hope for!

What are your hobbies, what do you like to do in your spare time?

Sometimes it seems like the only "me" time I get is at the gym. I love going and doing my thing and zoning out.

I live close to the beach in FL, and I love the waves and the sand--even though I don't get much of a chance to go! I always swear I will go more.

I love travel and exploring--whether it is somewhere just down the street or across the continent or over the ocean. I am enthralled with international cuisines and other cultures.

Do you remember your first client ? Tell us something about that first day when you decided to be a Masseur!

When I first started giving massages, about 10 years ago, what struck me immediately was how so many men were willing to open up their most vulnerable selves when getting a massage. I feel honored that so many men have shared so much of the intimate parts of their lives with me over the years. It helps me be a better listener, and it reminds me everyone deserves dignity and respect, particulary in moments like when the are getting a massage.
