Sometime in 2010 I caught the fitness bug after being encouraged by my uncle to "maybe hit the gym" that he goes to in our hometown. Initially I was overweight, out of shape, and had no idea what I was doing. I was able to lose over 80 lbs and become a much healthier version of myself. During that time I began to read and research using tools from bodybuilding.com and eventually fell in love with the bodybuilding life style. Since then I have gained muscle mass, lost more fat, and become the strongest, healthiest version of myself.

To me there is nothing better than the euphoric sensation that you get after a great workout. While that is my day to day reason for bodybuilding, my longer term reasons include being a better and healthier me, and being a strong and healthy husband and future father.
