I met with him recently for a massage. Hands down the strongest massage I have ever had. He does not "mail it in" and clearly has had training. I'm not real muscular and he brought some pain at times. I thought about backing him off a couple of times, but decided not to so that I got the max experience. I mentioned this afterward to him and he said its no problem, I could have just asked him to back down a little. There was satisfying interaction near the end. He is a real nice guy as well. It was a real good experience.
