Really by accident, I was a prison guard and when I got hired fresh out of the Army I knew I needed to put on some size so I started lifting. After a couple of years, people started asking me questions about what exercises I did and so forth. I went to my first bodybuilding show to watch some guys from my gym compete and when I went back stage I realized I was bigger than a lot of the guys so I decided to compete.

I am an ACE Certified Personal Trainer and I own my own private personal training studio.

I love bodybuilding because unlike so many things in your life that you have no control over, the gym is the one place where you have sole control over the outcome of your efforts,
