Ive been lifting for 20 years. As I got older and the family got bigger, I drifted away from fitness. Now, I'm deployed for a second time to Afghanistan and my wife is back home. We both agreed to RE-DEDICATE our bodies to fitness and upon my return home, hit the gym together daily. She's working her goals and I'm working mine. Trying to get my body better than it ever has been.

Because I joined the Army at 33 years old, I needed to get back into this lifestyle to ensure my success. My peers are 15, sometimes 20 years my junior and by staying fit, I can compete. I truly love the fact that at my age I am in the best shape of my life and I owe it all to my fitness regimen. I love the fact that I get that "high" still everyday before, during and after my workouts. My wife seems to appreciate my dedication....lol
