BIO: FIRST, THOUGH BORN IN THE USA, I AM AFRICAN. I GREW UP IN EAST AFRICA THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL BEFORE RETURNING TO THE US TO ATTEND COLLEGE.
AUGUST 2013 - SHORTLY AFTER MY 46TH BIRTHDAY, I LOOKED IN THE MIRROR AND DECIDED THERE HAD TO BE A BETTER WAY. I TOOK A SELFIE AND STORED IT. I MADE A NUTRITION PLAN AND A LIFTING PLAN AND STARTED TRAINING 7 DAYS A WEEK WITH NO GUIDANCE EXCEPT FOR WHAT I PICKED UP VIA ONLINE AND PRINT SOURCES. I DO NEED TO MENTION, AT THIS POINT, THAT THE MENTAL TOUGHNESS CAME FROM MY SERVICE AS A UNITED STATES MARINE - THE FEW. THE PROUD. NO QUITTING, NO REP GETS LEFT BEHIND, SUCK IT UP - ALL THOSE THINGS THAT MAKE MARINES UNIQUE. I FOCUSED ON FORM, CONTROL, AND EXPLOSIVENESS. I STILL DO TO THIS DAY ALTHOUGH AFTER LEARNING MORE ABOUT MY BODY'S PHYSIOLOGY AND TOLERANCES I REDUCED MY LIFTING PLAN TO 6 DAYS A WEEK.
FAST-FORWARD TO APRIL 2015 WHEN I MADE A CALL TO A SHOW PROMOTER AS I WAS INTERESTED IN BUYING TICKETS TO ATTEND MY FIRST BODYBUILDING SHOW. I THINK THE SHOW PROMOTER WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT I WANTED TO COMPETE WHEREAS I WAS JUST CALLING TO GET TICKETS. ANYWAY, AFTER TALKING ON THE PHONE AND SHARING EXPERIENCES SHE CONVINCED ME TO COMPETE IN THE "FITNESS GOLD COAST CHAMPIONSHIPS" IN DELRAY BEACH ON APRIL 18, 2015. HER NAME IS PATRICIA VALENTI AND I CREDIT HER 100% FOR LIGHTING THAT FIRST COMPETITIVE SPARK IN ME THAT HAS NOW TURNED INTO A RAGING INFERNO! SHE IS SIMPLY IN A WORD - AWESOME. SHE WAS, HERSELF, A PRO COMPETITOR AND WINNER PRIOR TO GOING INTO PROMOTING. SHE IS A GOOD FRIEND AND A CONTINUING INSPIRATION TO ME.
I HAVE BEEN TAKING SELFIE'S EVER SINCE TO TRACK MY PROGRESS. IT IS THE ONLY TRACKING THAT I DO EXCEPT FOR WEIGHING MYSELF WHICH I ONLY DO 1 WEEK PRIOR TO COMPETITION AND ON COMPETITION DAY. I JUST EAT RIGHT...FOR ME, LIFT CONSISTENTLY, AND STAY READY ALL THE TIME.
I ENJOY INSPIRING AND WORKING WITH OTHERS WHO EITHER HAD THE SAME REVELATION AS I DID WHEN I TOOK A LOOK AT MYSELF IN THE MIRROR BACK IN 2013, OR ARE INTERESTED IN SERIOUSLY IMPROVING THEIR PHYSIQUES FOR WHATEVER REASON, AND ARE WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO ACHIEVE THEIR OBJECTIVES.
NATURAL BODYBUILDING IS THE ONLY WAY.
THE NGA IS MY COMPETITIVE HOME.
