I was always active in sports in my highschool years. As I finished the season of one sport, I was starting a new season for another. Basketball, track & Field and Volleyball were my favorites and I excelled in all of them. In my last year, I joined a the school's weight lifting class which at the time was the best gym I had ever seen…and it was FREE! I quickly fell in love with the weights and often found myself in the weight room even during my lunch hour. I even layed off the other sports because I knew they would slow down my progress. I managed to gain 15lbs in my first three months of training going from a lanky 155lbs to a chiseled 170. The only guys in the class who made any gains had only put on 5 -8 lbs. I loved the weights and my body loved them too.

Going into my university years, I studied computers and psychology and thank goodness I graduated. I missed a lot of classes, because I was always in the gym trying to get a few more reps in. Pretty soon I was known as the big guy on campus. As I look back, I don't think I was that big, but I know that my physique stood out amongst my peers. People would always ask me if I compete or if I ever will. I never planned on it when I started to train, but they must have planted a seed in me. I decided that after I graduated I would take a full year to train and grow before entering my first competition. My whole intention in taking that year off was to develop a winning physique. I ended winning my first, second and third that year, and got my pro status with FAME and Muscle Mania. At the time it was much more than I could ever have expected, and all I wanted after that was to keep improving my physique and compete with the best in the sport of bodybuilding.
