The Marine Corps gave me my start. There's so much emphasis on good strong bodies and so many out-of-shape military members... it blows my mind. I wasn't an overweight one, but a weakling. I could pull my OWN weight, but heaven help me if I had to pull Sgt. ChunkyButt out of the desert!

During my first deployment I started lifting to pass the time. The second deployment I began to get more serious. I've since competed in 3 NPC comps and am a certified AFAA instructor. I'm almost finished with kinesiology degree as well.

I really wish that more people would care about their health and fitness.... and MORE IMPORTANTLY the health and fitness of their children.

It's a great stress reliever plus I enjoy feeling strong, looking lean and being healthy. I want to set an awesome example for my 3 young boys and to all whom I come in contact with.
