How and when did you get involved into lifting weights?
By the time when I graduated high school I was already overweight (189 lbs in college by my sophomore year I was up to almost 200 lbs..I joined ROTC in college and started to lift weights with the football team. I also did aerobics.

Was it a goal for you to compete in bodybuilding competitions right from the beginning or was it something that grew in your mind as time went on and you saw the progress in your body?
Actually I have to give that credit to Terry Hairston. I had always Appreciated the sport and was an avid spectator, but me compete never..with my body….but he saw something else ..he had a vision.

Which competition has been your first one and how did you place?
My first contest was the 1996 Jan Tana (Amateur) – 1st Middleweight

And which contest has been the biggest success for you yet?
Actually I believe all were successes..but I think the most memorable and challenging one was last year’s NOC…..with all of the things that happened from Lost luggage, next day FED-Ex plane did not take off to arrive in NEW YORK; CJ’s box with extra suits for me did not arrive to her; And just as I had finished at the hairdresser (1 hour before weigh ins)..it started to pour down raining and me with no umbrella…..>) : All this and I placed 1st Middleweight and qualified for the Olympia.
