We started talking about my physique and that day the idea was planted in my mind. Needless to say countless rides to and from work I agreed to allow him to coach and train me to see if it was something I could do.

Nothing beats a rough day at work than knowing at the end of the day I can go somewhere were like minded people are going to be engaging in something that brings me joy! Now with my new found love of bodybuilding, it takes that love to the next level.

Now I not only just train for my personal peace of mind but I train with a purpose of symmetry, and respect for the past people who have laid the ground work to allow me to do what I love and compete in these competitions.

What Motivates You To Follow A Healthy Lifestyle?

I am motivated to follow a healthy lifestyle because of my past and what the future may hold. In my family health problems run wild and the scarce thought of falling victim to that is just not an option for me. I want to start a new trend for my family and the future generations to come, showing them that a healthy lifestyle can lead to a better living.

Now after competing in my first show I am motivated by other competitors, my girlfriend who also competes and a great fitness team in which I started up once I decided to commit to my first show. I want to make sure not only to follow what I preach but lead by example to everyone else who is involved in my life.

What Made You Want To Achieve Your Goals?

Having never competed in a show but missing the feeling of competition in my life I wanted to achieve my goal primarily to show myself I had the self discipline and work ethic to do anything I set my mind too. Also, once I committed to doing the show I assembled a Team called So Chi Fitness and I felt it was my duty from that point on to not let myself or my teammates down.

What Features Do You Use On Bodybuilding.com?

To be quite honest I know you get this a lot but I use every feature of the website. Love the motivation you get from BodySpace. Nothing beats the great training tips that help you when you are in a rut with your own personal workout. Nutrition plans and recipes help to spice up the bodybuilder diet, which we all know can be tough. Plus all the knowledge of supplements and videos you can watch and read up on cannot be beat. Hands down this website as made a tremendous impact in my life.
