I told my dad that I would start at tight-end my freshmen year. So the summer of 2000 he bought me a bench and some dumbbells..and thats when it all began. My father raised me to be very competitive, so it was only a matter of time before my passion for weight lifting would transform into a love for bodybuilding.

Empowerment! The fact that I have visioned what I wanted my physique to look like--and that over the years I have attained that to a small degree causes me to love training!
