Highlight of
Career
Successfully promoting the Nations Capitol Bodybuilding Championships. I'm am a coach/advisor to several competitive
bodybuilders. One of the highlights of my career was having most of my prod ages present and cheering me on
as I won the Heavy weight class at the 2000 NGA Nationals. Also, when I won the overall at the 1999
World Police Games in Dallas, Texas Ronnie Coleman & Vickie Gates presented me with the awards.
Biggest Disappointment of
Career
Realizing the strong politics within the world of competitive bodybuilding and that at any given bodybuilding show
the best competitor that day may not win the show. Also, placing 2nd in a show and having the 1st place
winner apologize to me because he knew he didn't deserve to win.

Idea of a Perfect

Travel to a Caribbean Island where the natives speak English, American money

dealing with my conscience :)!

What would you be doing if you weren't a Bodybuilder?
I would be a full time self esteem educator/mentor for high school students.
Long Term Bodybuilding
Ambitions
I would like to represent the United States one day as a competitive bodybuilder in the Olympic Games. This can only happen
if bodybuilding becomes legitimate credible sport. The first step for me to accomplishing this dream is
to continue to educate the public about the differences between natural vs. drug bodybuilding. I
must also continue to speak out against impropriaties within the bodybuilding industry.
What you like most about Bodybuilding?
The natural high that I get the day of competition. Also, the dedication,
commitment, and mental focus it takes to diet, train and compete which
approximately .1% of the population has the ability to do.
What you dislike most about Bodybuilding?
The politics, the deceptive practices and the inaccurate information that is provided to the public about the
bodybuilding industry. Also, subjectivity in
competitive bodybuilding which leads to a strong political influence.
