Chris was raised in Palm Springs, California and was a football and wrestling player in high school. In college (Cal State Bakersfield), Chris was on the wrestling team, but has a falling out with his coach, and left. After Cal State Bakersfield, Chris went back home and enrolled in the 'College of the Desert' in Palm Springs, where he wrestled and played football, until he decided to get into bodybuilding full time. His family came from New Orleans. Chris' last name is pronounced 'Core-me-ay', not 'Core-Meer'.
Chris is known as a 'party animal', going to clubs and staying out all night. In Las Vegas, Chris even got onstage at a club while dancing, and got money thrown at him (just for fun). Chris intends on having fun during his bodybuilding career, not just staying at home and eating chicken and fish and just grinding it out.
Chris low point in his career was an he was arrested in 1995 on assault charges for allegedly beating up long time girlfriend Amho Hight. That incident triggered a period of depression for Chris, in which Chris was miserable and needed to figure out what he wanted to do. In the end, Joe Weider kept him on contract, and Amho and Chris stayed together until 1999. Currently, Chris is with girlfriend, Monica. Chris maintains that by 2003, he will be the new Mr. Olympia champion.

- Cutler, Jay 'Jason'
Born August 3, 1973 in Worcester, Massachusetts. Height 5'9". His real name is Jason, but he goes by Jay. Grew up on a farm in Sterling, Massachusetts. Nicknamed 'The Ultimate Beef'. Jay is the CEO of Vartan Enterprises. Married Kerry Courtemanche on July 9, 1998. In 1999, moved from Spencer, Mass to Aliso Viejo, California.
I was born August 3, 1973 in Worcester, Massachusetts. Worcester is centrally located in Massachusetts. About 50 miles west of Boston. I grew up in a small town called Sterling, which is a suburb of Worcester County. I was born the youngest of seven, 3 brothers and 3 sisters. My dad was a superintendent of the highway dept. and my mother worked in finance at a military base.
My childhood was an active one. I enjoyed riding my bike and playing neighborhood games such as kick the can and hide and seek. I rode ATV’s and worked on my family farm which consisted of pigs, goats, chickens, and cows. I worked in my brother’s concrete business from early on and developed quite a physique for myself. This physique was the foundation for my bodybuilding career.
In high school I played football. I was extremely popular, especially with the girls! I did the usual high school party routine and really enjoyed my years at Wachusett Regional High School. My high school consisted of 5 towns.
When I graduated high school in 1991, I went to college at Quinsigamond Community College. I completed my associate degree in criminal justice. This is where I discovered bodybuilding. I began training actually on my 18th birthday in 1991. In the beginning, I trained only to look better, but my training quickly led to competition. I competed at 19 years old at the Teen Nationals in Raleigh, NC. I placed first. This was the start of my bodybuilding career and love for competing.
My girlfriend, Kerry, and I moved in together in Worcester. I began training for pro status. The years went by quickly. I worked at different jobs, while Kerry was pursuing her nursing degree. In 1994, I met a person who gave me the guidance and support I needed to become the best bodybuilder and business man. Bruce Vartanian was a local bodybuilder and business owner. Bruce took me under his wing and taught me the ins and outs of business. He taught me what I needed to do to be the best. We trained together along with my diet mentor, Chris Aceto. We built a physique that would sweep the Nationals in 1996 to gain professional status. I was bombarded with contract offers and eventually signed on with Joe Weider.
I took 1997 off from competition and came back to debut in 1998 at the Night of Champions in NYC. I placed 11th- a little off from my best. I went back to old school dieting and training for the 1999 season. I placed 3rd at the Pro Ironman and 4th at the Arnolds Classic. Later that year, I placed 15th at the Olympia.
On July 9, 1998, I married my girlfriend of seven years, Kerry. We got married in a small private ceremony at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas.
My wife and I moved to Aliso Viejo, CA in 1999. We love our life in CA. Kerry is working on her Masters/Nurse Practitioner degree in nursing at the University of Phoenix, while working in Newport Beach at a hospital. I am currently contracted by ISS Research out of North Carolina and also Flex Equipment of CA. I most recently signed on as a writer for my own column "A Cut Above" for Muscular Development Magazine. All my free time is now spent on working at home and traveling for guest appearances. I will continue to do my best and support the industry.
