Sven Smits Likes Ice Cream
A shoot that I did with my very special model and dear friend, Sven Smits, based on a crazy idea that I dreamt up in the middle of the night. "Sven, what do you think if....you have to eat ice cream in a really sexy way, cover yourself in baby oil, and look like an American Bad Boy?"

Off to another Adventure: Sardinia, ITALY
Looking forward to a long weekend in Sardinia, ITALY with Telihana and friends. I will be doing a Pirelli calendar inspired shoot down in this island of paradise... I have been so inspired by the Mediterranean this year and it's been an amazing nonstop summer so far.

Tarragon Pengasus and Asparagus with Basmati Rice Recipe
Pengasus is a very tasty whitefish that I picked up at the grocery store yesterday. The flesh is not dry at all, decent sized filets and it's in the same family as catfish. For those counting their macros, catfish has a similar P/C/F profile as salmon but with more protein per 100g.
Fish is a very healthy part of my regime and I like to eat all kinds (salmon, tuna, perch, cod, pengasus…). Growing up, my father was a fisherman so we would frequently eat the catch of the day, yummy memories!
As this whitefish is of a delicate flavor, I made up this quick recipe.
- couple filets of Pengasus
- Spray oil
- Garlic salt
- 2 tbsp of dried terragon
- 1 cup dry basmati rice
- 2 veggie bullion cubes
- 20 spears of frozen asparagus
In one pan mash the bullion cube to bits, sprinkle it over the asparagus and let simmer at medium high heat. Do not add additional water or oil as the frozen spears will release a lot of water. This will be done within 10 minutes.
Do the same thing the basmati rice of mashing the bullion cube to bits and cook the rice in a pot or rice cooker.
In a nonstick pan over high heat, spray the pan with spray oil and toss the filets in there. Generously sprinkle the tarragon and garlic salt to taste. After about 2 minutes, carefully flip the filets. You want to remove the filets from the fire before it is fully cooked in order to keep the fish tender.

Daily Schedule
My Typical schedule:
7am: Wake
7:30-8:30am: Glutamine, fiber, and coffee. Do morning stationary bike for 30 minutes, cook food for the day as required, get caught up on emails.
8:30am: ½ cup of All Bran with skim milk, stevia, cinnamon. 2-3 egg whites.
9am: Work
Noon: Cup of plain vegetables (sometimes raw or steamed), 4-5oz of protein (baked, steamed, etc), sometimes a ½ cup of cooked rice/low calorie broth soup/slice of bread.
12-1pm: Usually nap in the car and run errands
2pm: Take supplements.
3pm: Eat protein and a cup of plain veggies.
6pm: Take supplements. Eat protein and a ½ cup of plain veggies.
7pm: Leave work for the gym
7:30 – 10pm: Gym. HIIT stepper routine and musculation. HIIT routine is 30 minutes of alternating sprinting/medium intensity on the stair master. Then for musculation I do something like legs, back, shoulders/arms, chest/arms, abs/legs. Or if I’m short on time in the evening then I’ll do my stationary bike for 30 minutes and a workout DVD.
10pm: Eat protein and a cup of plain veggies. I mix it up but remember to have a protein and small amount of carb. For example, I might have a couple slices of ham/smoked salmon and a cup of fat free yogurt and fruit. Or I have some 100g chicken breast + rice cakes + veggies. Whatever it is, I keep it light so I go to bed slightly hungry.
10 – 12:30am: Cook more, internet, emails. Sleep.
