People always ask me how I got into bodybuilding. Well, it's actually a good story. I grew up playing every sport I could. Then, after high school, I somehow got a rare neurological disease called Gullian-Barre Syndrome. Basically, a tiny germ got into my immune system causing it to attack the mylan sheath from around my nerves. By the time I was diagnosed, I was in a wheelchair and unable to stand and I didn't have feeling in my arms or legs. I was told it could be 6 months before I was walking again and may never make a full recovery. After spending a week in the hospital and a little over a month in rehabilitation, I was released as 'normal'. Because I was nowhere near my personal 'normal', I started working in a gym. That's where I learned about food, muscles, weight training and molding a body. One year and 4 months after I was diagnosed I competed in my first show. Bodybuilding is my passion and my lifestyle. It's a challenge, a test of determination, discipline and scientific knowledge. It takes dedication and a ton of support from friends and family.

I don稚 have plans for another show at this time. I知 really just enjoying my free time. The weather will warm up soon and I知 going to go on vacation this year! Yeah, my first real vacation in almost 6 years! Right now I need to decide between finishing school and trying to take my career to the next level. I would like to move out of Columbus in the future, so I致e got to decide how I知 going to that.
My personal training business is going well. I still love it! I love going to work! I知 so lucky I can say that. If, or when I go back to school, I知 thinking about nursing school. I know as a nurse I will have many opportunities and fields to choose from. Going back to school is going to be hard for me, I know I need to finish, but I would rather work as a trainer. It痴 really hard for me to focus on books and homework, I知 too active and would much rather go for a walk or kayak or something. Plus, I need to find some scholarships to help me pay for tuition.
Check out the May 2007 issue of JANE magazine. This is their 30 Under 30 issue in which I知 featured!
