I started training in the gym when I was 17 years old. After one year of training, I noticed muscle tone that I hadn't had before. I loved it and decided to join another gym that was more into bodybuilding. I started training with guys which needless to say, made me work and train harder. After 6 years of training, I decided to enter a fitness competition. I competed in two of them. That is when I decided I wanted to go into bodybuilding. One year later and a lot more muscle, I entered my first bodybuilding competition. I entered 3 that year. I have been competing since 1999 and entered my last show in 2007. Since my last appearance on stage, I have taken on other endeavors which are leading me in a different direction. However, as you will see from my recent photos, I still train very hard, keep a strict diet (most of the time) and am stronger than your average man my size.
