My path in fitness started during my middle/high school years, where I participated in track and field competitions and was a member of a national level swim team. During my freshman year of college I made the University of Washington crew team, one of the top programs in the country which has produced multiple national championships and a number of Olympians. I gained a spot on the team after being one of four walk-ons selected from a tryout of 70+.

I began training as a competitive bodybuilder in 2007, and was first catapulted onto the bodybuilding scene when I won the 2008 NPC WA Ironman Junior Division. In 2011 I received both my NGA and IFPA pro cards (two of the nation’s largest natural bodybuilding organizations) after placing first in the 2011 NGA Grand Teton Invitational for the Open Heavyweight and Overall titles. I've been a spokesperson for multiple major supplement companies, including Scivation and Core Nutritionals. In 2012 I made the transition and began winning titles in Men’s Physique competitions, including the Overall title in the nation's largest National Qualifier show, the NPC Emerald Cup.

I believe this life is a blessing and a gift. I love life, and we are given only one amazing body to experience it with. I do everything I can to create a strong, healthy, functional, beautiful body from the inside out, so that I can truly experience this life the way it was meant to be experienced! To the MAX!! :)
