I started working out when I was in 4th grade doing push ups, pull ups, and sit ups.I followed a strict routine even at a very young age. I got my first weight set in the 6th grade and was hooked from there. I joined a local gym prior to my freshman year in high school and the rest is history.

I love bodybuilding due to its ability to build character. I believe bodybuilding has helped me grow not only in the gym but also in other areas of my life as well. I believe that the discipline, dedication, and hard work that ones learns by becoming involved in the sport is what make bodybuilding so great.
