I got started with bodybuilding because I was the very thin and lanky kid that everyone loved to make fun of. My sister was really into bodybuilding and gave me a few pointers. I started working really hard in the gym. I started college at less than 150 lbs and worked my way up to 207! I never looked back and it's been a part of my life and will be forever.

I love bodybuilding because it completes me as a person. It's not just a hobby, it's a way of life. Every single day a bodybuilder gets to make the decision to keep doing what they are doing or quit. I choose to keep going!
