What Supplements Have Given You The Greatest Gains?

When I started using Beverly International products my whole physique changed, I got great quality gains and KEPT them. I believe their protein to be superior to any other I have used. I truly feel once I started using Beverly products I started "looking like a bodybuilder".

Why do you love Bodybuilding?

Because I believe when your body is "built" meaning muscular and lean it is something amazing to look at! I like the way Frank Zane said being a bodybuilder is almost God-like in the way you can change the way our bodies were created to look. I also love bodybuilding because it is NOT a team sport, no one can bring you down and the bottom line is "it's all on you!" no one can or will do it for you.

What Are Your Future Bodybuilding Plans?

I am competing in my first national level show this year in Chicago - 2007 NPC Junior Nationals. Also to win the Mr. Indiana Overall title where I have won my class the last two years in a row. In my mind the Overall Mr. Indiana title is my "Mr. Olympia," but most of all I just want to make my kids proud of their Dad (I want them to think "I'm the MAN!")
