Citations

• My work, interviews, and ideas have been cited in many national and international sport magazines, newspapers, and web sites (more than 1,200 citations on the web sites).

• Many web sites and magazines reprinted my articles and interviews.

Quotes

• Michael Phelps (14-times Olympic Gold Medalist): “G, You’ve Been Such a Huge Help!! Couldn’t Do It Without You!!”

• Dara Torres (5-times Olympian, multiple Olympic medalist): "Having G work with me throughout my comeback helped so much! Everyone kept telling me how perfect my stroke was, but underwater there were specific things that needed to be fixed. No one could see that until G tested me. The fact that G took the time to work on even the smallest of things helped me be the best I could be, and reach my goals, and for that I am extremely grateful."

Languages I am proficient in several foreign languages: German, Russian, Lithuanian, and Polish. These languages help me to stay informed about studies done in exercise physiology and biochemistry in many different countries.
