Why I Got Started
My quest, or transformation, really started when I was 50 years-old and still in the Navy. During a routine physical exam, I was diagnosed with symptoms of diabetes, a disease that claimed the lives of my father and grandfather at early ages.

While I Was In The Navy.
I made up my mind that I didn't want to follow that path and began a diet and training regimen that, 11 years later, led me to the bodybuilding stage for the first time.

How I Did It
When I began training for my first competition, I was an out of shape, weak, middle-aged man weighing 162 pounds, with a body fat % in the high teens. My diet and exercise had kept me from the onset of diabetes, but little else. I needed a change. If I was going to step on to a bodybuilding stage at my age, and not be laughed off, I needed a transformation.

My Age, I Needed A Transformation.
In June, 2004, I began an aggressive diet and training regimen that had me in the gym 90-minutes-a-day, five days-a-week. After 10-months of contest preparation, I entered my first contest in March, 2005. I weighed 137 pounds and came in pretty lean. I was the oldest and the smallest man in the 2005 NPC Northern Kentucky Bodybuilding Championships.
After my first show, I was hooked. Since then, I have competed in 26 contests, winning 42 trophies, including a World Championship in my age class, four Best Poser awards and three Pro Cards. I am also a contest judge and have judged shows for four natural federations: FAME, OCB, NGA and SNBF.

During my first year of competing, I averaged a bodyweight of 137 pounds. In my second year, I hit 140 on stage at my final show that year. In 2007, I reached a stage-weight of 150 pounds. I plan to compete in June at 155.
At my last amateur show, the 2007 NPC Alabama State Championships, I won my class and am the 2007 Mr. Alabama Masters Champion. Since turning Pro in the WNSO-FAME, the NGA and the IDFA (Canada), I have competed in three pro shows, placing Third in the first two in the NGA and winning my last, the 2007 FAME Grand Master Pro North American Championships last November in Miami.

My next contest is the 2008 FAME World Championships in Toronto in June, where I will compete in the Grand Master Pro Division.

Note: If you choose to cook the egg whites, scramble them and don't add the protein powder. The protein powder adds flavor to 100% liquid egg whites and with the 8 oz water, it's a great shake.

Suggestions To Others
My message is simple. Age is a statistic, not a burden. There is no reason why anyone, even with physical ailments, can't get into and maintain the best shape of his or her life. It's a matter of desire, dedication and grit. As far as I'm concerned, my transformation is a continuing process. I have not peaked!
