How I Got Started

I was 16 years old and my father had an old dirty weight set in the garage that wasn't being used, so I cleaned it up and went to work. I saw I was putting on a little bit of muscle and size and I've been hooked since then!

Civilian Life To Military Life
What Is The Hardest Part?

The military expects 110% from you and no less. I would have to say knowing your role and submitting to authority.

Future Bodybuilding Plans

My future bodybuilding plans are to continue working hard and not giving up because it's not an option right now, win NPC shows and get a chance to shine in National's some day.

Also I plan to achieve what only a few can only dream of in this never ending journey and that's to stand on stage next to the greatest in the world and to utilize every chance I get to give our lord Jesus Christ all the glory!

VISION, ACTION, EXECUTION.

One Tip For Other Bodybuilders In The Military

Keep God first in all you do. Eat clean, train hard, sleep and have the consistency and the desire to better yourself not just in the military or in the weight room, but also in life.
