I was sick as a child with allergies and asthma. I stayed in and out of the hospital and doctor's office a lot as a kid. Then when I was 13 I got my first set of weights. I can remember getting a concrete weight set with a bench from a local department store. I fell in love with working out and I have been working out ever since.

It is a passion deeply rooted from early on in my life. It is something that is not only a passion, but also a part of my life. I love being in the gym. I love the sense of achievement from completing goals and the results that come from hard work and dedication.
