How Did You Get Started?

My brother got me started in bodybuilding. We both worked out as teenagers but I wasn't as serious about it as he was. When I turned 21 I decided to get in shape and really focus this time, so I took 6 months and dedicated myself to getting in shape. I lost about 40 lbs. After that I decided I wanted to compete in bodybuilding, so I took a year to put on size and then dieted down for 16 weeks.

I competed in the granite state open in October 2006 and with my brother's help and a lot of support from my fellow gym members I took first place in the novice division.

Why do you love Bodybuilding?

It keeps me disciplined. I also believe everybody should have goals to achieve and with bodybuilding it seems when you achieve those goals you realize you can do a little better, so you always have a new goal to achieve. It keeps you at your best.
