Why I Got Started

In a group of friends, you will always see that there is a fat kid. No one pays much attention to the fat kid, he is funny though. That's all they see. Well that was me my whole life.

I was miserable with my appearance and working out was my solution. I did get better but my body weight would fluctuate so often and I was never satisfied with my weight. I knew I would not be happy until I changed.

Entering an athletic college, I figured I should do something. I actually got to go see my first bodybuilding show in Binghamton, New York, and that is what got me started. I wanted what they had and it sparked a fire in me to achieve a body that would come out of a magazine.

How I Did It

I played football throughout my high school years. I was a pretty strong kid but that's where exercising really began for me. In my senior year I suffered an injury that broke my fibula bone and caused me to lose a lot of my gains.

After physical therapy I did get back into working out but not as serious as I got at college. After my first year in college I saw that I was maintaining and made some improvements in my body and during that summer of 2009 I buckled down and set goals.

My goal was to do the NPC Brooklyn Teens Division. Along the way I got to meet some great people that gave me advice and helped me meet my nutritionist who has helped me stay on track tremendously. Through diet and training I came a long way.
