I started my freshman year in high school due to gym class and playing rugby. I always enjoyed running and biking, but fell off lifting for a few years. I rediscovered the joy of lifting while I was deployed in Afghanistan, and have been hooked but never had the motivation to do much with it until this year.

I love the energy and the rush of hitting a PR or killing a workout. Nothing feels better, I feel better, smile more and just feel like an overall better person
