How Did You Get Started?

When I was very young I always remembered seeing my brother and uncle work out. I though it was so cool that they could lift heavy weights. This initially sparked my interest.

I was a very skinny kid when was growing up, so once I entered high school I started working out with my friends to try to get some size. I immediately feel in love with challenging myself everyday at the gym. I noticed gains and this fuelled my passion. Football and Track and field encouraged me to become stronger and bigger. After high school a very well-respected bodybuilder encouraged me to compete, so I did, and loved it.
