Do not be afraid to leave the confines of what is comfortable ... be more afraid of dying unfulfille

About Me

First and foremost, I am the father of an AMAZING 10-year old named Austin. Although he lives with his mother in Richardson, Texas, Austin is forever with me in mind and spirit. I do plan on having more children, but only if and when the time is right. I am also a two-time NPC national bodybuilding champion and IFBB professional. If you peruse muscle & fitness magazines, then you have definitely seen and/or read about me. Yes, I am "that guy" who gained almost 60 pounds of solid competitve muscle in four short years ... from being a 147 pound USA lightweight champion in 2002, to a 176 pound middleweight national champion in 2004, to a 210 pound IFBB professional in 2006. Although I compete professionally on the IFBB circuit, I do consider bodybuilding purely a hobby as I do have a life and career outside of the sport. I am senior writer for an up-and-coming magazine named "Status Fitness". My goal as a writer is to share my own experiences and knowledge with others to give a "real" perspective on how to become better and healthier athletes/people. I recently ended my search for a supplement company to join that share the same values of quality and integrity that I uphold. I will be working very closely with Magnum Nutraceuticals to not only produce and promote quality products, but also to alter the negative perceptions of the neutraceutical industry as a whole.
