I began working out in high school as a way to improve my athletic performance, I played football and wrestled. I quickly gained a love for working out and being able to sculpt my body. It gave me something that few people had in a small school-strength. It was a big esteem booster for me, and I continued on and off for several years. I took some time off working way too many hours in a week and having a terrible diet to go along with it. Being in the military gives me a good reason to stay in shape, and its pretty fun to be one of the biggest guys in my unit.

I love the feeling of a good workout, being drained afterwards, knowing I gave it 100%. I love a good pump and seeing progress. I love the feeling of being strong, and being able to use that strength in my every day life.
