Were you always athletic? - Ran track in school, played soccer and judo

Athletic Background.... won two overall bench press competitions, tried to qualify for the Canadian National Olympic Skeleton Team - Skeleton is just like Luge except you go face first at 80 mph

A knee injury in soccer and judo resulted in 3 surgeries, started weight training to keep in shape. Started off trying an EAS physique challenge, people at the gym kept on telling me that I should try bodybuildling contests. Went to see a local show, recongized a few girls from the gym, thought that if they could do this so could I. Progressed well with the weights, always lifting heavy, decieded to enter a novice bodybuilding contest 16 weeks before the show, never experienced the pre contest diet phase, went well won my first show (lightweight class) and the following year the provicial championships (overall). Went on to compete in the Canadian National Bodybuidling competition and won the lightweight class. The following year figure was introduced in Canada competed in the National show and won my short height class, missed the overalls by one point. In Canada only the one overall gets a pro card, so this past year competed again and won the overall.
