When I Started:
Feb, 2005
How I Started:
It was always a dream of mine to compete, and I started this journey because I was challenged to do so.
Why I Love It:
I love being able to sculpt my physique through hard work. Lifting weights is a spiritual experience for me and gets me through to the other side of any situation I am dealing with.
How I Stay Motivated:
My motivation comes from diverse sources. Just as I am a multidimensional person so are the reasons that I workout and compete. Additionally, I am a person with intense drive to always push for a better physique. It is that drive inside of me that keeps my spirit alive and pushes me everyday. This lifestyle has given me much purpose and direction. Bodybuilding is an integral part of my continual path toward self betterment.

Ava, as always checking in on you and letting you know that your clip on how to eat while traveling was definitely on point. So many out here say they are here to help and inspire, but you've constantly put info out to the world along with your truth and it helps a bunch. You keep proving them wrong and I totally admire your work. Thanks hun for all that you do for us.

Ava, you truly are one of my heros! I have pics of you on my wall to keep me motivated. Oxygen is my favorite magazine so I was glad to see you in the triceps training spread in the June 2010 issue. I want to see you on the cover of Oxygen! :)
