Turning to music, Marco soon became a sought after studio musician and composer / arranger. Because of this change of lifestyle, now sitting, Mark began to gain weight. His career of 15 years has been a large number of art awards. He had received no training in music, has been recognized as a free gift to him. He led the New York City, wrote the music for the world's top skaters, advertising, television themes and work as a composer / arranger of more than 20 albums. He is a conductor, arranger and composer and three albums Alliance awarded the Juno Award , and he led the music / worship in two churches. The ability to write the whole orchestra seemed to be just natural ability. In 2006, Mark received a letter from Ennio Morricone, primarily a composer of film music in the world, praising the work of Mark.
Marco married and subsequently divorced his ex-wife of 13 years. The marriage produced a son who is now 16 years. Marco took the mantle of full-time father to his son who was diagnosed as autistic. Raising a child with special needs caused Marco to see the world from a different perspective, perhaps simpler. Known for his communication skills and quick wit, Marco was now forced to change how he communicated in order to be able to talk with his son.
Now there is little doubt in his mind that the death of his father, the pressures of a failed marriage and raising a child with autism have contributed to substantial weight gain. Marco, once an elite athlete and thin, was clearly overweight, weighing over 300 pounds, size 54 athletic pants and pre-diabetic with a 49% body fat.
A flight to New York, Mark was unable to draw the seat belt around his waist. His "time of change" occurred when the passenger next to turned and said, "Lord, you can move? You're too fat for being here." Crushed, Mark landed in New York, dressed as she performed a musical test. Since the score of his papers fell to the ground, bent down to pick up and dress pants he wore torn, from bow to stern. Mark wrapped his jacket around her waist, and fled the room in tears. The time ran into friends who had not seen for years and had to assure them that they knew when Mark was still very "Mark", as he was overweight, his friends knew him not. This is encapsulated in one day after her mother picked up after his return from nine months abroad, and has not recognized him. Mother, do not recognize his son! Marco was a gesture of her when she said: "I'm here, Mom, I am."
"What happened with you?" She said, "I could not recognize it was you."
He began to read everything he could about weight loss, diet, etc. .. soon discovered, no diet would work for him. When you lose weight while still in New York (foot), decides to enroll in a gym once in Toronto. Mark drove his local gym every weekday for 3 weeks and sat in the parking lot, a handful of white knuckles and shook the wheel. He was paralyzed with fear and could not invite the courage to go into a gym, because it is so embarrassing for overweight and in poor condition. After 3 weeks, fell from his car and came to the entrance doors. While he was incapable of fear. At that moment, while trying to complete two flights of stairs, he calmly said: "If I ever beat this, I'm going to tell the world how I did. I want to be a personal trainer." Then he laughed at himself for allowing such a thought. When we finally broke that barrier, Marco climbed a ladder to the main reception and had to stop twice to catch his breath.
Upon receipt of membership guest, Mark got on a treadmill for 3 minutes and threw everything he had eaten it all himself and the car. He felt people's eyes with his embarrassing weigh heavier than him, not fat or sick. He immediately went to the gym, even shower without stopping, fear is seen naked in the locker room. The next day, Mark came back and threw again, but this time he did the bathroom. He approached a monster the size of a coach named Magnus, and accept his help. From that day forward, and during the two years, Mark fell by more than 100 kilograms, and argues that the loss of more than 8 years. What is surprising that he never once refused his fat loss. He did well the first time, and never looked back.
Driven by a passion for helping people, Marco left the music industry full time, and it is destined for a career in fitness. He spoke with as many teachers as he could and finally decided to earn a personal training specialist accreditation. There he meets Susan, one of the most powerful women on the planet. They exchanged emails and met to study for exams, where both spent. Mark and Susan have separated, and some time later, a friendship that led to a deep love. Marco thought it would be a headline one day "Guy old grease, becomes personal trainer and fitness Babe earth."
Eager to begin his new career, Mark applies to a number of gyms and were asked to interview one of the largest fitness franchise in Canada and the United States. gym manager immediately recognized the effectiveness history of Mark, and his success and passion, and decided to give it a shot. When Mark has a red shirt team, ran to his car and cried like a baby.
Meanwhile, Mark and Susan grew a pair. He had the privilege of helping coach Susan and two national titles suitability, adding that previously held. He wrote and edited his music helped him to choreograph a routine, took his diet, meals cooked, and he trained for the gym. It was a couple. Although he had lost so much weight, Marco rejected Susan progresses for months. He said: "I love you" and he responds in kind. Mark still saw himself as a very fat man and never thought it would be the possibility of such a magnificent, world-class athlete. He survived, thank God, and the storybook romance is there to this day, and the eternal promise of the future.
Shortly thereafter, Marco is a full time coach with a base of 100% renewal. Nine months later, the franchise was acquired by another company. Marco has been offered a job as a fitness consultant, he has accepted. It was an instant success in his new position and the company broke all records, winning contemporary trainers and consultants were more than two decades. Marco's passion threatened the status quo. He was promoted to chief and advisor to fitness in record time has been given a managerial position in the landmark franchises. It was the fastest ascent to the position of the company history of 10 years. Later this year, Marco was honored by his peers with awards Top consultant years has won more than hundreds of other more experienced workers.
In just one year, Mark was personally responsible for selling $ 700,000.00 in personal training contracts which, when compiled with his new role as leader, so his total over $ 1,000,000.00. Three years ago, Marco began to take extracts from his diaries of weight loss and put them all together in one document. They have proved to be the seed of the book "Starving to be Fat." Marco animated television shows, held meetings in schools and has conducted over 1,000 consultations fitness. It is impossible to calculate exactly how many people he has led a successful weight loss.
In the chaos of business, and a challenge to his integrity and ethics, Marco left a six-figure income, while the country was in deep recession of the neck. A lack of guaranteed work, only a possible referral of a friend and colleague, Mark was hired by the largest fitness franchise in Canada within three days of its release. In the shortest month of the business year, with Canada in a deep recession, and no training on the systems to his new position, the challenges are enormous. Marco invested in its people and has set a club record fee that did not meet in January, historically the busiest time of year for gyms. Realizing his desire was to help people in ways other than spreadsheets and budget balance targets hit, Marco has made another change and decided to leave this life behind a desk. Now he is a writer, teacher and coach of elite weight loss.
As director, noted that the integrity of the resolute man, has always seen the employees as people first, then as co-workers. He was credited with saving careers people and guidance for those natural path of your destiny. Mark points out in his private gym on the steps of insurance, the first time. Looking back many years later, it is safe to say that the task is almost completed. Then again, it may be just the beginning.
