My interest in the fitness industry began at an early age. I grew up playing competitive sports and after high school I tried to continue that trend of playing in recreational city leagues. The competition was never serious enough to keep my interest as I missed the feeling of training for a higher level of competition. 

I found bodybuilding and I knew I was in the beginning stages of filling that void.

Most bodybuilders don’t get into the sport at a young age due to the discipline and sacrifice it requires to stay on a strict diet and training schedule. 

Luckily, I found my way out of the party scene at the age of 20, and it was then I decided to commit myself to the process of becoming a competitive bodybuilder.

Four years of competing at the regional level allowed me the necessary muscle mass and maturity to compete on a national stage. Those four years of grueling contest prep, I began to learn about my body and what was optimal for me in terms of training, diet, and supplementation.
