Interests/Hobbies
Sports
Ever since I have been little I have had a huge interest in sports. Throughout my life, I have played soccer, baseball, and basketball for either recreational leagues or for school. I have always enjoyed playing sports, as I consider myself to be athletic and I have demonstrated this by playing on travel teams and tournament teams for multiple sports. Though having this strong interest, I decided to not play sports in high school and to focus my time on doing well in school and working all four years at a retirement home to make money. It was a tough decision to not play in high school, as many of my friends encouraged me to play soccer; however, I still continue to have this strong passion for sports by watching sports on television and cheering on Temple University football and basketball during the current season. GO OWLS!
At college, my roommate, Steve Anderson, got me into bodybuilding and being healthy. I had never lifted weights seriously, only towards the end of high school did I really start to lift weights for personal pleasure; however, lifting with a friend and competing against each other has pushed me to reach goals that I had never seen possible. Entering college I weighed in at 155lbs, now at a solid 190lbs I feel very good about myself as reaching these goals has raised my morale substantially. I will continue to enjoy bodybuilding as it is something I can do for many years to come!
