Two years ago, I could have never imagined myself appearing in magazines and being sponsored to do something I love. Health and fitness have always been a passion of mine, but only recently have I made the decision to help others reach their goals.

I still remember the day my dad bought my first bench press. I stayed up late at night reading muscle magazines aspiring to look like the athletes on the pages. Frank Zane was my all-time inspirational figure. At 5 foot 8, and 115 pounds after dinner, I was determined to change my life.

Six years and 7 gym memberships later, I decided to take my training and diet to the next level. The increase training from 3 hours to 22 hours per week, combined with a strict nutritional regimen allowed me to finally achieve the goals I had set for myself.

After putting my profile on bodyspace.com, I was approached by Ian L. Sitren to appear in Iron Man Magazine. Although this offer was unexpected, I was pleased that my hard work and dedication had been recognized. This was immediately followed by an offer of sponsorship from Controlled Labs, which I gladly accepted.

In 2008 I obtained my personal training certification (ER-CPT) and decided to share with others the knowledge and experience I have gained, in order to help them achieve their health and fitness goals. Nothing makes me happier than to hear from a client who has made life changes for the better. I hope you will consider being one of them.
