Bodybuilding Biography After three months of serious rehab and counseling at Magee Rehabilitation Hospital in Philadelphia, I was able to go home to begin living my new life. After the first year home, I began to become acclimated to life in a wheelchair and was able to gain my independence. Once my physical injuries began to heal I joined the local gym to gain the strength and muscle I lost due to the accident. One of the trainers there, who was a competitive bodybuilder took interest in me and started working with me each week. After several months I was starting to get some strength back and began to see some muscle growth. I was beginning to make progress. One day, he brought in a muscle magazine with pictures of wheelchair bodybuilders who were big and ripped. I wanted to be them. I wanted to compete. I told my trainer and he was on board. We immediately took an interest in the growing sport of wheelchair bodybuilding. He started me on a high protein nutritional program consisting of 6 meals a day with a calculated caloric intake along with an intense training schedule of four days a week, working one body part per day, which I still use today. I was serious about bodybuilding; I just never knew how far I would take it. After a few months of intense training and a strict diet regimen, I began to see results. I was gaining weight and my muscles began to take shape, I definitely looked a lot better. I was feeling better than ever also and in turn that made my life so much better. I started competing in 2001 and after my first show I was hooked and the rest is history. Bodybuilding definitely helped get me through the toughest years of my life both physically and emotionally. Each year gets better and better. Back to top.
