Growing up playing football, I was always competitive. I loved to stay in shape, but after I got injured playing college football it all changed. Once I finished college, I made the choice to join the Navy. Being in the Military full time is a very stressful job. I am originally from New Orleans, LA, so once Hurricane Katrina hit my hometown it just added more stress. I began living an unhealthy life and eventually got up to 270 lbs. I was in jeopardy of getting kicked out of the Military because we have to maintain a level of physical fitness.
That was over 2 years ago. Since then, I've taken charge of my life and learned how to live healthier. Now I'm a personal trainer, dietitian and nutritionist. I started off being a powerlifter and one day, a good friend asked me to train him ready for a contest. I've been training ever since.

Meal 2: Meal 3: Meal 4: Meal 5: Post Workout Meal 6: Meal 7: As you can see my protein stays the same, I just rotate my carbohydrates every two days. I have two high carb days and two low carb days. This seems to work just fine for me.
To maybe one day go professional, but now I'm just trying to improve myself for every show that I do because I know I haven't reached my full potential.
