In September '06 I found out I had a brain tumor on my pituitary gland. It was causing all sorts of complicated hormonal issues and if it wasn't taken care of I could die at an early age! Basically I have what Andre the Giant has only I developed it later on in life so I didn't grow really tall. Anyway I was almost 200 lbs and decided to take control of my life. I started working out to get healthy and control my stress levels...needless to say I became addicted and humbled by what discipline and hard work can do for the body!
Why I Love It:
I love the way it makes me feel! I love how when I am at the Gym (my second home) all my problems seem to go away. Even if it is for an hour or two.
How I Stay Motivated:
I always am setting new goals!
BB Accomplishments:
Have yet to achieve them!

This was taken around 185 lbs. I was just getting into shape. I had basically been in off season my whole life. my newest pics are around 165 lbs
This one I am 20 lbs lighter. I was lucky in that my weight was always more bulky looking that fat looking. I have no idea what my body fat is. I guess I should find out.
My goal is to compete in 08! I am probably going to hire a trainer/nutritionist in March. But In the mean time I need some help. I use my arms all day because I am a massage therapist. So my biceps and traps are really big. I know it is difficult to tell in these pics. But my shoulders are...
