Bought a bench on 17th birthday.I lifted at home initially.Gradually I learned more things, then started at the local gym.I wanted to better my physique. I was too fat and had cholesterol problems at that early age.Then I discovered powerlifting, and It gives me pride to compete.

It gives me confidence, I love the pump, the natural high I feel drives me to lift more,
and it makes me happy as it is one thing I will always enjoy doing.I currently compete in the American Powerlifting Association(APA.)So far I broke 7 state records,4 National records, and 3 world record all in the raw deadlift.
