My close friend and now coach Clayton Harris aka CJ; with BMG (body management group) got me into Men’s Physique.  He said I had the “look” and help motivate me while I prepared for NPC’s Emerald Cup in Seattle.  Needless to say I was very hesitant to step on stage at first.  I had been weight training since 9th grade in high school and made good gains over the years but knew that my height would keep me from ever being a competitive bodybuilder nor did I have the desire to gain 60 pounds of muscle.  I was in decent shape at 180lbs but knew nothing of contest nutrition or how to create a championship physique.  I knew I was a hard gainer but through trial and error, I learned what was needed to gain mass.  Men’s Physique division gave and continues to give me the motivation I need to push myself to my mental and physical limits.  I want to create the most aesthetically pleasing physique possible for someone of my height.

Serving active duty as a Naval Helicopter Pilot at HSC-3 squadron NAS North Island in San Diego and competing in the NPC definitely has its challenges.  However I am no stranger to hard work and time management.  Every show I have competed in, I have also been active duty Navy while in some type of flight training program (private pilot program, Navy Primary training, or Navy Helicopter Training).  I put myself through College while enlisted as an Aviation Technician and spent my teenage years raised in a foster home in South Central Los Angeles before joining the Navy.  I believe there are some things in this world we can not change but for the things we can change; we mind as well change it to what we want.  I wanted to be a Naval Aviator and wanted to have a nice body.  I encourage anyone who share my goals/dreams to pursue them because life is too short.  And if you have questions on how I got to where I am, I can be found on facebook and would be happy to answer any questions.

I am currently preparing to step on stage at the LA Championships July 19th followed by another trip up to Las Vegas to compete once again for my Pro Card- USA Championships.  I heard the third time is the charm. I am currently training at Worlds Gym in San Diego and plan to bring to the stage a shape that is unique and aesthetic; wish me luck.
