Well the wife passed away, I got down with the ole nerves and got in some trouble, went to the joint and decided it was time to change my life and body so I started lifting, I never had lifted but I decided that anything had to be better than how I had been. Life has alot of challenges and I made up my mind that if I did,nt change I was gonna die or hurt someone really bad and by the grace of God and a caring family I pulled thru and now I am focused. We live and learn ya know, and sometimes a person has to get knocked down hard to come back stronger than they were, well as many say "if I can do it, you can to"..PLEASE holler at me and if I can help I sure will ok..

It has given me a totally new outlook on myself and showed me that at age 49 I can still change myself. I love to reach new levels in the sport. It makes me really feel good about myself!
