Please share a bit of your background and how you see it relating to your current success in fitness and modeling.
I am a Doctor of Chiropractic and have always been involved in athletics and interested in nutrition and fitness. I’m currently working on my Nutritional Diplomate and my medical doctorate.
Of all the clothing and modeling/acting opportunities you could land what would be your favorite role and what would you wear?
Well since I am a father of 2 boys, playing a superhero would be pretty cool for them. They already look at me as a superhero. My favorite superhero is Captain America so that’s who I play when we play super heroes.
If I received a modeling opportunity it would have to be something
tasteful. I never really thought about it so anything would be a great experience.
Share with us a bit about your contest history and most memorable show experience.
My first show was in September of 2014 in Daytona Beach, Florida. I’ll probably always remember that show because it was my first show and the decision I made to compete in May of that year.
That decision changed my outlook and purpose for training at the gym. I learned a lot about my body and how it responds to nutrition and different and dynamic exercises. For instance instead of doing heavy weights, I began doing band work and body weight exercises and BCX boot camp (cont. pg 22).
