How did you get interested in bodybuilding/working out?

Like I have mentioned before, it started at an early age. Driven by the Hulk, and all Rocky movies.

What was your first show like, any interesting experiences?

I was 18 yrs old. Going strong at that point. Had allot of pressure in ways. My whole family showed up plus about 20 people from my gym. It was an absolute high. I had judges coming back stage to meet me and to give me advice.

What do you see yourself doing in 10 years?

It is hard to say right now. I am now going into my own business for myself. My life is very busy and competitive. I am always in demand for something. I guess I wish that some day hopefully by then I can have my own clinic to where it offers healing, counseling, nutrition, anything that like this that would allow a busy person to get away and have their solace space.

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

My conscience bothers me allot.

Any additional notes? People you would like to thank?
