Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia I remember my earlier years of playing street football in the neighborhood with my father and friends. As a child I was always athletic and played tackle football at the age of 9. However, my senior year of HS I decided that football was no longer my passion so I decided to focus on my true passion, weightlifting. At a young age my mother always would tease me on how I would constantly look in the mirror; once I decided to focus on weightlifting, my fixation on how I looked became more and more obvious! My passion for discipline and self pride is ultimately what brought me to modeling.
