Started after broke my ankle playing football and wanted to look like jay cutler back in the day. It started well but to this day I still dont have my nutrition down but I am weighing 250-256 with about 11% bodyfat. I always wanted to play professional baseball and in February, I will get a chance to prove my case in front of 30-40 scouts atleast in Florida. I am going to be 28 years old when I attend.

Working out relieves my stress. I was recently diagnosed with having narrowing and arthritis forming in my L3-S1 vertebrae and have a disk that is starting to bulge into my spinal cord. VA doctors told me there is no positive outcome to this. Working out relieves all the pressure on my spine and relieves all my stress. In the last 3 years, I've had my sister die before her 30th birthday, my father diagnosed with throat cancer and eventually was cleared by doctors at MD Anderson, only to have my grandmother die from cancer that started in her lungs, then her spine, then spread to her brain. I have almost lost my house to foreclosure on 2 different occasions. My daughter was born with a faulty mitral valve in her heart and a heart murmor. She spent almost 14 days in the NICU because of a doctor that couldnt get a pH test to read what he wanted and failed to notify my fiances doctor. My life is anything but perfect and easy. It has been a fight and when i am in the gym, everything else disappears and I have a new fight. A fight to push myself to the limits and to try and achieve greatness. This greatness is the satisfaction that i have pushed my body to new limits. I promised my sister before she died in 08 that I would atleast tryout for a minor league baseball team. I tried for 3 years only to get cut the last day. As I was in the airport heading to Afghanistan, i got an email for an Invite to a pro showcase held 3 times a year. I had gotten invited to the biggest open event on Feb 8 and 9.
