I got reading about Layne Norton, Derek Charlebois & Ryan Swan on bodybuilding.com in the summer of 2002 and from there I was inspired to try to get a much better body then I had thru school sports and other activities.

I love it because everything I do, from hitting the gym, to counting calories, practicing posing or putting together night routines, it gives you a great satisfaction that you're doing something for yourself, and nobody can take that away from you. Plus bodybuilding is a fantastic sport, and you meet a lot of great people!! I've made so many friends thru shows and my work, and I like how many work well together to help each other.
