Please share something of your background and how it relates to your current interest in fitness and modeling.
Growing up I was always involved in sports, I used to play basketball, baseball, volleyball,
swimming and many others. I can say that I used to be athletic back then, but after graduating High School I concentrated more in weight lifting since I no longer played the sports that I used to play in school.
I am not going to lie, I was the kind of guy who always went to the gym and though that lifting was all that I needed to do in order to change my physique, well I was completely wrong. I worked out rigorously but had no idea of how vital and important nutrition was and how it played such a big role in changing your physique.
I started changing my eating habits back in 2012; I did not have a lot of knowledge on what to eat therefore the first thing that I did was stopped eating fast food, reduced my carbohydrate intake greatly and incorporated cardio into my workout regimen. This worked well for me since I was able to go from 230lb over 20% body fat down to 180 5% body fat in about 1 year.
In 2013 is was fortunate enough to be introduced to my coach Eric Diffenderfer who runs Team Freak Physique, this is when I really learned about nutrition and started noticing the changes that my body would go through depending on the types of foods that I ate, I have since then taken my physique to a whole different level and only see improvements from here on (cont. pg. 6).
