At the age of 13, growing up in Panama, I remember being inspired by the great bodybuilders of the time: Schwarzenegger, Ferrigno, Zane, Oliva. I started using an old set of weights that my father had at home, it was not much, but it was all I needed.

To me, bodybuilding is a way of life. I love that it challenges me to be better, to be stronger today than what I was yesterday.
