In 2008 I took a look at myself and was disgusted. I tried to lose weight and work out, but failed. So figured, that maybe I needed something to chase that would keep me on track. My first bodybuilding show that I attended was the one that competed in. I learned everything pertaining posing was from youtube. I went from 274lbs to 169lbs for my first competion 2009 carolina supernatural which I won.

I love bodybuilding because it filled a void in my life. I always played sports in school and it kept me active. Once I stop playing sports, In my mind I had no reason to workout. The competitive aspect gave me the reason to train.
