IN JULY OF 2004, I RAN OUT OF PANTS TO WEAR AND I COULD NOT GET OFF THE FLOOR WHEN PLAYING WITH MY KIDS...I HAD GROWN TO A MASSIVE 46" WAIST AND 345 LBS.!
NORDSTOMS ONLY WENT TO SIZE 44. WHEN THEY SAID BIG AND TALL I SAID I AM GOING BACK TO THE GYM. AS I LOST WEIGHT, I HAD ALWAYS DREAMED OF STEPING ON STAGE AND MY FRIEND, SHAWN RAY, CHALLENGED ME TO DO MY FIRST SHOW...THE ORANGE COUNTY MUSCLE CLASSIC. IN APRIL OF 2005, I STEPPED ON STAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME AND CAME IN 6TH OUT OF 22 GUYS, IN THE MENS HEAVYWEIGHT NOVICE CLASS. THE REST IS HISTORY...I WAS HOOKED!
2013...WELL MY STORY NOW CONTINUES...AFTER HAVING A TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT AND GAINING ALL MY PRIOR WEIGHT BACK. I GOT MOTIVATED AGAIN IN APRIL OF 2013 AND NOW AFTER SHEDDING ALL THAT EXTRA WEIGHT BIG C IS BACK! THE JOURNEY NOW CONTINUES...FOLLOW ME AND SEE WHAT THE NEXT CHAPTER WILL BE...LIVE HARD TRAIN HARD STAY FIT!
