I believe that success is a state of mind. First and foremost learn to take responsibility for YOUR LIFE! Once we accept that

we are truly in control of every aspect of our lives, we can finally start down the path we desire. I find inspiration from 

ANYONE I encounter that is passionate about what they do! I see too many people drifting through life without any desire to 

stand above the crowd and strive for greatness. Dare to be GREAT! Take pride in all that you do, and leave a legacy. 

Most of my true inspiration comes from people outside of the bodybuilding and fitness world. Although I have MANY 

great role models and leaders in bodybuilding and fitness. 

Success, to me, is simply defined as the setting of goals that will make something of you to achieve them, and then knocking them out of the park.

SET BIG GOALS!! Good is the enemy of great. 

I love to read about successful people. Their stories of overcoming obstacles, learning great lessons along the way. 

The truly smart man will learn from other peoples experiences, and advance quickly through challenges. Make mistakes. Never dwell. Hold your head high and look forward to the next endeavour. Every challenge in life is a way to force you to adapt and GROW!! Every stressful situation in my life brings a subtle smile to my face, I see an opportunity for growth and betterment. 

Love life, set goals, work diligently, help others! 

Passion, Persistence, Growth!!
