When I Started:	Mar, 2001
How I Started:	Joining the Marine Corps changed my life drastically with regard to health and fitness. I deployed to Okinawa and because there wasn’t much to do on my free time I worked out and read fitness magazines. There was a supplement store on the gym at Camp Schwab so I finally got on my first supplement routine – protein, creatine monohydrate, multi-vitamins and glutamine. After quite a few months of this regimented schedule I managed to put on some quality muscle. On my spare time I would go to the Vitamin Shoppe to read articles, look at supplements and compare products. In 2001, I trained with another fellow Marine, Joe Byrd, to compete. Even though I did not end up competing that year due to unexpected events, the learning process of competition preparation was excellent. Him and I motivated each other through the tough times where you’re depleted and have no energy. I promised myself that I would eventually do a competition but I’d have to focus on putting more quality muscle on my tall frame. Being 6’3” is tough in the bodybuilding world.
Why I Love It:	Bodybuilding has been a constant motivator in my life and has been the greatest outlet I've had, specifically in the Marine Corps and in Iraq. As a result, I've been bitten by the bug and I'm ready to get up on stage and see what kind of package I can bring to the sport.
How I Stay Motivated:	There’s been many people over the years who have said my training intensity and dedication to the sport is unparalleled in anything they’ve ever seen. Every time I step foot in the gym I’m there for a purpose – it’s all business. Every set counts and every rep in each set counts. It’s all one step closer to achieving something I wasn’t sure I was ever going to be able to do. I always think this way and it keeps me going.
BB Accomplishments:	To date, featured in FLEX Magazine (2009) July and September edition. I've been in contact with FLEX Magazine now since the beginning of 2009 so there is some interest in me. After my October competition FLEX will be doing a "My Story" in the NPC Report.
