I've been an athlete since the seventh grade. Weightlifting helped be become strong and fast and I was the captain of my HS football, wrestling and track teams. I would go on to wrestle in college in one of the toughest divisions, Div 1, Big Ten. As i got older, I began to feel my physical and mental edge slipping. I see bodybuilding as a way to keep my edge, remain competitive, feel good, and look great for years to come.

I love feeling good, looking great, and competing in just about everything. In order to compete you must have the mental toughness but you must also have the physicality to match. Bodybuilding keeps me strong, athletic and mentally sharp.
