Highlight
of Career
Just competing in and of
itself is a gift. Being able to take my mind and body
through the ringer every time makes me a stronger and
more disciplined person mentally and physically. Getting
on stage reminds me that I can do anything I want to
with enough effort and desire.
Biggest
Disappointment of Career
Not so much a specific
moment but the recent realization that despite 6
productive years in the natural bodybuilding arena as
both a competitor and a coach, it has and continues to
act as a small deterrent in my pursuits to obtain a
career in college
strength
and conditioning.
Best
Body part
Arms, there just plain
small and always have been, made some improvements in
the years and gotten a lot stronger but more work is
needed.
Favorite Exercise
Squats
and deadlifts along with heavy dumbbell
bench
presses.
Least
Favorite Exercise
Depends on the day, it
varies, how bout that?

Diagnosis
What
would you be doing if you weren't a
Bodybuilder?
College strength and
conditioning....oh wait I do those right now!
Long
Term Bodybuilding Ambitions
Earn a pro card period in
the WNBF!
What
you like most about Bodybuilding?
The lifestyle is demands
of someone and the byproducts in leaves in your life or
the spillover it puts into you life such as hard work,
time management, fitness, healthy eating, confidence,
pride and self worth.
What
you dislike most about Bodybuilding?
The drug aspects that
labels our sport for natural and enhanced athletes
alike. The OCD that can so easily pervade someones life
if they dont allow themselves to stay in control of the
diet and training and keep other priorities in check.
What
advice would you give other bodybuilders?
Learn as much as you can
and listen to people who have the experience. Find a
mentor and learn learn learn from them. Dont go asking
20 different people whats best. Find what works for you
and then stick to it. Long term consistency and hard
work will always be your best friend in this sport. Do
not jump ship every time something fails to produce an
outcome right away.
A
little more about you...
I am 24 years old just
graduated with my Masters in Human Performance from
UW-La Crosse. I am an NSCA
certified personal trainer and strength and
conditioning specialist. I just finished a full time
internship with UW-Madison as an assistant strength
coach this spring. I own and run my own LLC as a fitness
consultant, trainer and contest prep coach. I am
currently in the proccess of applying to several
colleges in the US for jobs as a
strength and conditioning coach. For now I play
the waiting game while reviews take place before I here
back, talk about anticipation!
