My story
I was you.
Here is what worked.
I was the bigger kid. A teacher called me fat in high school. In 2011 I fell in love with the gym, and I have trained every year since. I went from 240 to 171 pounds for my first Men's Physique show in 2014, and competed again in 2015.
The harder work was inside. I had what I call Good Guy Syndrome.
I found my way out through therapy, a men's group, my faith and my marriage.
In January 2026 I started again at 249 pounds. By November I was down to 188. I am still doing the work, and I will walk you through yours.
