By Strength and Power Hall of Fame
Personal history:
Growing up as a kid, I played sports all my life. I played Junior Varsity Baseball and Junior Varsity Track & Field in High School. I also played basketball growing up. I started competing 10 Years ago in Powerlifting and briefly in Armlifting.
What led you to your sport:
When I started college, I wanted to play Division 1 Baseball. I did not make the team and started to lift weights to try out again. I started looking at different videos online on how to get stronger and came across powerlifting. I was so amazed at the strength these athletes had. I decided after 2 years of lifting to sign up for a meet and give it a try. I was able to break my first Federation World Record in my very first powerlifting meet, and I decided to pursue the sport of powerlifting as it became my new passion.
