How did you get interested in bodybuilding/working out?

Marrital Status: Married, 2 1/2 years My dad was always into exercising and usually had fitness type magazines and books around his house. I found a book one day that had several bodybuilders in it like Tom Platz, Arnold, Lee Haney, Cory Everson, Rachel Mclish, Bev Francis etc.. I was intrigued and attracted to it from that point on.

How was your first show like, any interesting experiences?

My first show was awesome!! It was a very very long day though. My coach had the flu, prejudging seemed to go on and on and on, they screwed up my music, etc....but at the end of the day I won heavyweights and overall, and I had a great time. It was worth the wait.

What do you like and dislike about competing?

What are your future goals in this industry?

Take it as far as I can!!

What do you see yourself doing in 10 years?

Hopefully the same thing, competing. Only by then I hope to have a couple kids in the mix.

Please tell us something special about you that most people wouldn't know?

I love plants and flowers...and I'm a big sucker for kitties, I have two and they are like my kids!! finally, but most embarassing, I'm a cluts with absolutely no grace whatsoever. I could trip on my own shadow.

Any additional notes? People you would like to thank?

I have to say a BIG thank you to my wonderful husband Bill. He gave me the extra push to try competing and puts up with me while dieting. I have to thank my Mom, because she has been so supportive. I also have to thank my Dad for inadvertantly and unknowingly sparking my attraction to the sport. Finally, I have to thank my coach, Gary Dean. He's the nutrition genius, routine choreographer, consultant, guru, go to for anything guy who I'd be clueless without. Thanks you guys!!!
