I have been pretty fit for most of my life from Gymnastics until age 16 and then construction laboring from 2003 2007. I worked out a couple of months off and on along the way. Between 2007 and 2009 I let myself go and was depressed about the shape I was in. I had never been in bad shape and after 2 years of it I decided to get serious about weight training in Oct. 2009.

Working out is a natural high for me. I feel amped up and at peace at the same time. I use excersise as a stress reliever and wellness tool. I am also much happier with life if I am physically active.
