I was never into fitness. My brother was in the Marine Corp and he talked me into joining the gym and working out. Ever since I have been in and out of the gym and have never achieved my goals. It is now 2013 and I am very determined to reach them this year.

I want to be an example that it can be done. I am lucky enough to own my own business and work from home now and I'm raising a 7 year old and a disabled 20 year old son and supporting my wife while she is in the nursing program. It's not always easy, but with the support of my wife and my trainer, i've been kicking some butt.

I love bodybuilding cause it's like an art. It's up to you how you want your body to be. I am able to manipulate my body and I love the feeling of being sore.
