I began lifting weights in the 8th grade, (about 1994) in my parents laundry room at home. That's where my older brother cheap cement weights were kept. I was training originally for football. By the time I was a senior in high school I had my sights set on bodybuilding.

I love the intensity of the workouts and always trying to better yourself with every workout. Every day is a competition with myself from my last workout. Its definitely always about the weight with bodybuilding, but about the intensity, the drive and the focus.

Being in the gym and working out in general makes me feel so much happier. I love to encourage people while I'm in there and see it lift them up mentally. While I also love getting the same in return. My motto, "Work hard and stay Humble"
