I have been an upper level competitive athlete since I can remember. My father was an amateur bodybuilder and was impressive to me. He showed me the bug (bodybuilding) that bit me after drawing an end to my career playing Ice hockey competitively. I went on in college to meet a couple of buddies that ended up being lifelong brothers in iron to me. We all motivate each other and push towards each of our goals, this is one thing in my life that will never change. I am very fortunate and appreciative of every positive-minded person that walks into my life, especially if that positivity comes from pushing for fitness goals.

The gym and lifting is therapeutic to me and pushes me to always be the best version of myself. Things may come and go in life, but 500lbs will always be 500lbs on these grounds.
