With a group of guys I went to rehab with at 19.

Growing up as a kid, I never fit in, had low self-esteem, and often times questioned my own existance. I've been to hell and back, and today I believe that bodybuilding is my saving grace. When I was 19, I started hitting the gym religiously and finally found a source of self-confidence, and began to walk with my head held high. Today, my life is all about pushing myself forward and accepting new challenges.
