When I started weight training back in March 2006, I really wanted to transform my body. I was skinny and weighed about 135 lbs. I found a 24 hour gym in my neighborhood and made the decision to transform my body. I didn't realize that weight training would help me get through a difficult period in my life. My marriage of eleven years ended in divorce and I became a single dad. Weight training gave me the ability to handle the stress and pressure that I was experiencing. As my physical transformation became more apparent, I realized that I could not only change my body, but my life. I believe challenges come into our lives to make us stronger. We don't always understand the reasons why, but we have to trust that God knows what is best for us. Even when situations and circumstances are negative, we have to trust Him. If you want to transform your body or your life it's not going to be easy. It will take faith, courage, and commitment. So, make the decision today to reach for your goals. Don't let negative people or events stop you. You can do far more than you can even imagine.

I enjoy the challenge of bodybuilding. You are not competing against others, but against yourself. The person in the mirror is your true competition. Each success breeds the desire for more improvement. Also, I enjoy being an inspiration to others.
