Stephen A. Guerrera was born in Waterbury, Connecticut in 1962. Following High School, Steve enlisted in the U.S. Air Force as an Aircraft Mechanic. He served during Grenada, Libya, Panama and Desert Storm, and is very proud of his enlistment to his country. Twice, Honorably Discharged. During his enlistment Steve became an amateur bodybuilder while studying nutrition, anatomy and exercise physiology.

Upon returning to civilian-ship, Sikorsky Aircraft in Stratford, Connecticut offered him a position as a Helicopter Mechanic. Steve was married in 1988 and soon added twin boys to their family. In 1992 he recieved his Certification in Personal Training and Fitness Counseling through the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America. In 1995 Steve and his wife began to talk about raising their children further south. The long New England winters and northern stress factors had taken their toll.

In 1997 North Carolina became the place of choice. An Airport in Greensboro became Steve's place of employment. After a short time Steve knew that it was time for a career change. With all the years of studying nutrition, anatomy, physiology, health, fitness and bodybuilding, he knew it would have to be something involving the human body.

While  personal  training was semi consistent, he needed something more financially  sound. Chiropractic or Physical Therapist College were a thought  but Massage  Therapy College however could be done while still  employed at the airport. 6 months prior to graduating Steve left the airport for an opportunity to manage at a local Health Food Store and Herb Shop, study, and practice massage. Following  graduation in 2001 he was asked  to come back and teach the nutrition and  wellness portion of the  program. The very next year he was asked to come back  again and  teach the anatomy & physiology portion of the program. In the  years that followed, Steve became a Certified Orthopedic Massage  Therapist  through the Orthopedic Massage and Education Research  Institute (OMERI) and is  now studying for his certification in  Neuromuscular Therapy. Steve is also a  Certified Natural Health  Practitioner through The National Association of  Certified Natural  Health Professionals, Inc. (a not-for-profit corporation) that  was  founded in 1988 for the purpose of training and certifying individuals  who  sought to counsel others in natural health techniques.

During 2002 and 2003 Steve had the pleasure of working with a Neuromuscular Therapy clinic where he learned even more. Another bonus came from being able to work with different athletes from the University at Wake Forest campus. Unfortunately with all the years of physical training and now the added strain of massage therapy, Steve's body finally gave out and he susstained a shoulder injury.

In 2004, Steve's wife made the suggestion that a move to the beach might be nice. In amazement he agreed. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina became their new home. Steve is now a licensed therapist in SC and works out of a local Chiropractic and Clinical Associates office in Surfside Beach. Once established, Steve began his Personal Training & Fitness Counseling career again working with several local gyms throughout Conway, Murrell's Inlet, Garden City and Myrtle Beach. He was very surprised to find just how many athletes trained in this area. He has even had the pleasure of working on, and with, two Olympic hopefuls. Steve is happiest and at his very best when helping, training and teaching others.
