I had always been active and played competetive volleyball all throughout school; however, the passion and desire began to really manifest after I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2008 and my Rheumatologist said I would never get rid of it. He told me to stop doing whatever it was I do (working out) and to start by walking on the treadmill 10 minutes a day. That only made me want to workout and lift more

I love overcoming challenges. I loving moving a pin down, picking up a heavier weight, and grunting out another rep.
