Bodybuilding has been an interest to me for the last six years of my life. I have competed in three contests in the last three years. The first two contests I competed in I had little to no guidance and never achieved the goals I had set for myself, because I did not realize what it took to get to the level I wanted to be at.

I remember April 2005 after my last contest I met Justin Fargo and I asked him to help me because this is a team sport and you need someone else’s eyes on you to keep you in the right frame of mind. We began training together in May of 2005 and started preparing for The 2006 Michigan Novice Bodybuilding Championships held at the Redford Theatre in Detroit Michigan.

I have to admit I was a little nervous this is a huge show and I wanted to be as prepared as I can be. My fiance Trayc gave me support I needed throughout the year and I am extremely grateful to have her on my side she keeps me in line and helps me prepare for everything. After nine hard months of training I had bulked up and put on six lbs of lean muscle and was at 210lbs which was the most I have ever weighed, but I was still in shape, this was hard to understand at the time.

I started dieting at the end of November and dieted through until March 11, 2006. I took my bodyweight from 210lbs all the way down to weighing in at 171lbs. I have never been more prepared for anything in my entire life. I knew I was ready to accomplish what I had set out to do, so I went to the show and did the best job I could have done.

The end result was a victory in the middleweight class and then at the conclusion of the show I was victorious in the overall championship as well and won the whole show. This was truly a life changing experience.

My future goal is to compete in the 2007 Mr. Michigan National Qualifier. I am going to train and diet harder than ever and I will accomplish what I set my mind to do. I will update this with future pictures of training and contests I attend.
