Growing up I was always a scrawny kid, when I got into college I was 6'1" and about 130 lbs but skinny fat, talking barely any muscle. One of my friends was really into working out and he originally got me started in the gym. I became hooked the second I saw results, sure they were slow to come but I never gave up, never lost hope, and always kept pushing myself. I wanted (and still want) to become one of the top physiques in the world so naturally I turned to the internet to learn as much as I could outside of the gym. I would stay up for hours researching the various nutrition guidelines, and discovering exercises and workouts that I felt would maximize my potential and results in the gym. I almost fell into bodybuilding by accident, growing up I NEVER imagined I would look like this now but this experience so far has opened a lot of doors for me and I am excited to see what the future has in store for me. I will never give up...

I love bodybuilding/working out simply because it is incredible to me to watch my own transformation and I truly love inspiring people and helping them change their lives too. I was always all over the place when I was younger, I would start something and never see it through to the end, but with working out my whole approach and philosophy changed. This was the first thing I ever really stuck with, something just clicked and now I can't even imagine my life without fitness.
