I started lifting and becoming more fitness aware when I was 18 -- but struggled with my weight. I hit a high of 268 pounds Christmas 2003.


The start of my new fitness lifestyle was in December 2006 when I attended my first MMA class. I've lost 65 pounds since then, but didn't supplement much weightlifting into my training.

I'm trying to rebuild myself stronger through weightlifting/bodybuilding so I can excel better in MMA.

Helps me to become stronger, fitter, leaner, and more athletic.
