When I Started:
Jan, 1962
How I Started:
I first got started weight training when I was a kid. I had been injured and could not participate in regular "PT" classes. So they put me in this new curriculum called weight lifting. I really was good at it and became very strong.
Why I Love It:
I like the challenge and it works well for me. Also the bodybuilding business is a big part of my professional photography business. I travel the country photographing major bodybuilding competitions, I shoot the advertising and features you see in the magazines and for BodyBuilding.com.
How I Stay Motivated:
Lifting is very fun for me and a good mental release. In the last couple of years I have been traveling so very much and working so very had that it has been difficult to be consistent. In the last 60 days I have gone back to lifting heavy and in the gym daily so we will see what happens.
BB Accomplishments:
Earning the respect of a lot of the younger guys at my gym and hearing things like I hope I can be like you when I get to be your age. Seriously. I don't give up, I worked my way up to 405 lb bench, squats, back rows and deadlifts. And 100 lb dumbell curls. I had put on some good size and was pretty trim with a 32 waist.

Goal (Long):
I am up around 225 and looking to trim back down at least 35 pounds. But more than that I really am working to get back to being more consistent in getting to the gym and working out. I am changing around some of my work schedule and plans just to make sure that happens.

Why I like this video: Said to be the toughest man on the planet, Movie about Soke Takayuki Kubota 10th dan Gosoku-Ryu Karate. I was exceedingly fortunate in my life to have this amazing man as my Karate instructor.
I am very proud to have been selected as a featured photographer on PhotoShelter, a community of approximately 50,000 photographers from part time semi-professional shooters to some of the most famous photographers in the world. And it was my Olympia photos this year that got the attention...
