I started training in earnest on January 1, 2013. I was at a near all-time high in weight (225lbs) and realized I wanted to -- and needed to -- lead a healthier life. After 12 weeks of getting my ass kicked by one of the best trainers in TX, I dropped down to 192 lbs. Now, I'm focused on building the right kind of size and strength for the long haul. I'm a beginner here, and I love to learn new techniques and habits... If you have any tips, please fire 'em over.

I'm a huge fan of setting goals and trying to achieve them. I like to measure/ track everything I do, and I'm all about recognizing and optimizing weaknesses. I've made some great friends through the gym and my life perspective has changed dramatically in the last couple years.
