I started several years ago when I first met my mentor and good friend Willie Dunn, at that time Willie was a professional boxing trainer, and he taught me to endure any and all physical conditioning pertaining to boxing. Willie helped me lose 60 lbs in 6 months...he built my confidence level to the point that I boxed in a white collar event in a well known boxing gym in Manhattan in front of a crowd of about 150 attendees..I was nervous, but It was exciting, especially since I held my own... after that I wanted to get stronger and was introduced to a fellow gym goer who taught me the fundamentals of weight training, I was hooked forever....here I am today heading in the same direction, and Loving it...

I love bodybuilding because of what it represents....it has taught me to endure, to embrace failure, to challenge myself physically, to set goals and achieve them, to overcome obstacles in the gym as well as in LIFE, to be patient, and humble.... Bodybuilding has motivated me to be better at everything I do, and most of all to look and feel fantastic...AMEN !!
