I was 6'3/165 when I joined the Army. I needed size for work and confidence. Through the years, I got away from the gym to spend more time with my family.

It keeps me young! I needed to lower my blood pressure and cholesterol so I came back to weight training. I want to see my grandchildren graduate college! I compete because I love inspiring others! I love to see the look on the competition's face when they find out I'm old enough to be their dad.
