He grew up in Massachusetts as your typical 3 sport jock, excelling and loving football, basketball and baseball throughout his adolescent years. Acea earned a baseball scholarship to college, but after two years he decided to concentrate on his studies instead. During a semester off from school he got a job at a fitness center and was introduced to natural bodybuilding, were he won his first local show. This sparked the start of Acea's journey into health and fitness. He immediately got back into school and headed to University of Massachusetts at Amherst where he earned his a BS in "Exercise Physiology and Health Management" and was named the Junior All Natural USA Bodybuilding Champion in 1997.

One of the things that Acea prides himself upon is practicing what he preaches. "If I give a client or participant something to work on, such as a progression to a movement, stretch or different food to use as an energy source... you can bet the house that I've performed it, tried it and/or mastered it first!" Acea currently lives life one day at a time and loves to share his experience, strength and hope with his clients, participants, friends and family.
