Current Diet & Supplement Plan: I am always eating 5-7 food meals a day, depending on the goals, usually always clean foods. I've always wanted to not only be strong, but also look strong.

 

Favorite Clean Foods: chicken and rice is the bread and butter of all clean diets.

 

Favorite Cheat Foods: I love a good ribeye and a blooming onion and the macro killer cookie have to be up there on the list of foods I crave.

 

Favorite Music Artists:.Eminem and NF easily top that list.

 

Favorite Movies & Shows: Tough question! Since I'm a nerd at heart, I've always enjoyed comics so I'd have to say I love the Marvel movies. I've seen all 22 of them.

 

Special Shout-Outs: I wouldn't be where I am without the help and support of my training partners Matt, Sean, Mark and a whole bunch of other great people at ABC Fitness. Having the support of the gym, from having all specialty equipment I could ever need to the environment it provides has helped me greatly. Also, thanks to Live Large Fitness, for supporting me and promoting me since I started my powerlifting journey. And lastly, my wife, who has always supported my lofty goals and ambitions and helps keep me grounded.
