I started as a boy with my dad's weight set on the front porch of my childhood home. I've been hooked every since.

I lift for me. I lift for how it makes me feel and how it makes me feel about myself. I lift to escape the stresses and anxieties of daily life. For a few hours, it's just me, the iron and my earphones screaming at me. The weight never lies, never leaves, never argues. Either I can lift it or I can't. I lift because I can never be big enough or strong enough. Lifting is my #1 form of recreation. This could go on forever...
