Since I was 10yrs old; boxing, martial arts and bodybuilding via different people were part of my life. Instead of committing to this path, I committed 20 years of my life to drugs & alcohol. Dropped out of school at 13 worked for builders becoming a house framer at 18 ( S.I., N.Y. 1 of the 5 boroughs). I was always physical by trade plus I rode road/mountain bikes and Dirt bikes, from 18 -29 I was 174-lbs 5% fat at 6'1". Quit cigarettes at 29 hit 224-lbs, quit alcohol, marijuana and drugs at 30 hit 260. At 31 I finally got with my uncle who was 38 and been Weight training since he was 16. I continue to evolve in a positive direction. At opening of BB site 233-lbs 16% bodyfat. I will work at losing body fat and building muscle naturally.

This is the high I searched 20 years for, while numerous opportunities were in my path, I refused to acknowledge them. This is the true path; that is clear . I wasn't subjected to so many healthy people throughout my life for no reason. I simply refused to follow the path each time it was presented. This is what I was always meant to do.
