I got started when I discovered I weighed more than the guy I was with at the time.I was also motivated to start when my older sister passed away of a heart attack at the age of 30. I realized if I didn't make some changes, I could possibly follow in her footsteps to an early grave.

I have not reached my goal of having the body that I want. I'm happy with my success, but need to lose about 35-40 more pounds.

I really enjoy bodybuilding because it is a sport where I can focus on myself and my health. There is no limit to how far you can go.

I also love how my body has changed physically.
