In high school up to my junior year, I was 5'8 125 lbs. I got tired of being so small. A bad breakup and the fact that my ex always complained about me being skinny really motivated me initially to gain size and strength. From there, it quickly turned into an addiction.

I gain respect among friends, feel better about myself, live healthier and through all my experience and learning I can then use that to inspire and help others achieve their goals. Bodybuilding encompasses the mindset of hard work, dedication and continuing self-improvement which is essential to apply to every aspect of life.
