How Did You Get Started?

I got started body building my senior year of high school. I was always that chubby kid in the background and I got tired of it. I joined the military right after high school and continued bodybuilding.

Civilian Life To Military Life

Accountability! You can't ever call in sick or be late. No matter how you feel or what you're doing it gets put on hold if the military says so. Also always having someone telling me what to do even if I don't agree with what they told me.
