Bio
I stepped into my first strongman competition in 2012 with no idea what I was doing or what I was getting into. I had dabbled in and been in the gym for years up to that point, but with no real direction or purpose to it. But strongman changed all of that for me. The camaraderie and the brotherhood in the sport is what drew me in and remains one of my favorite aspects to it. From the grueling training sessions to major competitions, you know how much everyone devotes themselves to this lifestyle.
My major goals moving forward remain the same as they did on day one. Keep getting stronger, keep getting better, and to continue testing myself in bigger and more competitive competitions.
When I'm not training, eating, or sleeping, spending time with my wife and two dogs fully occupies the rest of my free time.
