Biography

Q&A'S

  • What happened? Why are you in the Wheelchair?

    I was injured while working construction in 2007 when a slab of brick wall fell on me.

  • Why did you get started?

    I started training to lose weight after a break up in 2014 and gaining weight during the months after.

  • What made you want to compete?

    Attending Nick Scott’s wheelchair bodybuilding camp at Shriner’s Hospital for Children in 2008 and seeing how much fun he had with it. Also getting a message from Nick himself telling me that I needed to compete and show all my hard work that I had been putting in at the gym.

  • How did you go about doing it?

    Started to change the way I trained for gaining size and being leaner instead of just training to lose weight.

  • What motivates you?

    Being able to show the world around me that a wheelchair or other circumstances can only stop you if you let it. No one can determine your fate except for yourself.

  • What suggestions or tips do you have for others?

    Don’t listen to the naysayers… do your thing, stay focused, and never stop pushing.
