My main fitness through school was track and field, particularly high jump and pole vault. I would love to get back into vaulting, but that is something that doesn't translate into professional life very well; mostly only schools or a few specialized clubs in the U.S. have the equipment. Working out keeps me healthy and looking decent, and offers a great community with which to share my fitness journey.

I love staying healthy and active, but I also love the gym community. I am inspired by people who work hard to be in such incredible shape, whether it is for physique competitions or merely keeping a healthy lifestyle. I respect so many people on this site and hope that I can inspire and encourage others as we help each other towards our goals. Send me a message if you want me to keep you honest on your workouts. I also like bodybuilding because my wife likes me better with muscles than without muscles.
