I loved playing sports, but was always small. I grew up playing soccer and got by on speed, but started playing football in 8th grade. I was tiny. At the end of 8th grade I weighed 85 lbs. and couldn't bench the bar! I started busting my butt. By the time I was 16 I weighed 130 lbs. and benched 265 lbs. and could do 50 pull-ups. I saw the results from hard work and I fell in love with training.

I love working hard towards a goal. Whether it is aesthetics, sport-specific, speed, power, numbers, etc. I love busting my butt. I am a fighter, and a firm believer in Muhammad Ali's quote, "The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights." I love training!
