College dorm mate initially got me into it and showed me the basics. Then I started doing my own research and learning by trial and error. Almost became ISSA certified at one point because I was so into it but landed a full time job that side tracked that idea. I regret not finishing my cert though! Someday I hope to still do training on the side as I love helping people reach their goals and forward the knowledge I've gained through the years.

I've been puny all my life, especially as a long distance runner. Bodybuilding has finally given me a means to feed my need to be active and escape my puny genes!
