I started weight training with the football team my freshman year of high school after getting fed up over how skinny I was, then got a gym membership soon after that.

Competitive bodybuilding is my favorite sport, hobby, and is the greatest motivation and number one passion in my life. I love it because it challenges you not only physically in the gym but mentally most of all, because it teaches you discipline, determination, patience, and through your training and diet it motivates you to be the best you can possibly be in every area of your life, not just in the gym or on stage. I believe bodybuilding is one of the most difficult sports in the world because it's not just a sport, but centers around transforming your body to achieve complete muscular development, symmetry and proportions through a way of life that will also lead to a longer and healthier life for those that are truly dedicated to their training and diet.
