How Did You Get Started?

I started bodybuilding to add size and strength for a more competitive edge as a martial artist. I quickly became addicted to the changes of lifestyle and my physique. I was then hooked and everything else was second or discontinued all together. Actually competing came with much support and motivation from my wife Chanda and promoter Derek Snelson.

What Workout Plan Worked Best For You?

My workouts change every six weeks. Four on three off, three on four off. Next six weeks would be two on one off, one on two off. Two bodyparts a day except for legs, their annihilation deserves it's own day.

What Supplements Have Given You The Greatest Gains?

My greatest gains have been achieved with Cell-Tech, Nitro-Tech and a lot of food!!

Why do you love Bodybuilding?

Why do I love bodybuilding? Various things keep me drawn to the sport: the obvious change in physique and physical stature, physical strength, ability and athleticism, and the Type "A" personality/over achiever mentality that is developed with bodybuilding spills over into everyday activities; academic, professional and personal. And you look good in a suit!!

What Are Your Future Bodybuilding Plans?

My future bodybuilding plans are to compete in the upcoming Armed Forces Championships in Virginia. After that take a year off to add some quality mass to my 6'1" frame and tackle the Emerald Cup in Washington state, from there who knows.

What One Tip Would You Give Other Bodybuilders?

One tip: stay dedicated to your short term goals and the long term ones will come with great satisfaction.

Favorite bodybuilders: all my workout partners (Chanda Gaines, David Gorrell, Mariam James, David Schreiner). You're only as good as your support, thanks guys!
