Jim (Skip) Albury was born on August 25th, 1967 in Denver Colorado. He grew up in Miami, FL and currently works at the University of Florida as a computer support analyst. He has a Bachelor of Science degree in Astronomy that he also earned at the University of Florida.

He started weight training at the age of 18, when he enrolled in a weight training course at Miami-Dade Community College. From that point on he found a passion for bodybuilding and decided to transform his physique.

After joining a gym at the age of 19, he has since gone from weighing 125 lbs. as a teenager to an off-season weight of 175 lbs. He's now 36 years old and has competed in bodybuilding multiple times.

His most recent accomplishment, winning the overall trophy in the 2003 Gainesville Bodybuilding Championship, is something that would not have been possible if it weren't for the friendship and support of many of Bodybuilding.com's forum members. Jim ("Skippy") gives them his thanks.Age: 36
