Bodybuilding is a definite part of my Venice Beach, CA upbringing. I paint and sculpt classically and when I see my bodybuilder friends transform their bodies day by day, my admiration and respect goes to them wholeheartedly!

How could I not love bodybuilding when my roots are anchored in this amazing artform. Bodybuilding was always present of in my growing years...my closest friends, my neighbors and roomates were always bodybuilders!
