Started mostly because of sports and then through the years I kept lifting to stay in shape and build muscle. Grew up playing soccer, baseball, etc... Played baseball in High School and College. After high school I was able to really start building muscle. My workouts are the most intense from January thru May...the rest of the time I seem to maintain because I'm very busy during those months...you know...because it's nice outside. Love being outside playing golf, softball, biking, hiking, running, swimming, basketball, kayaking, rock climbing, just about anything. Can't get enough of the outdoors. Even if it's hitting a tennis ball or throwing a football around at the beach. You can't beat the feeling of being out in the sun.

Great stress reliever...self esteem. If I want to relax after a great workout and play video games or read a book I don't feel guilty about it.
