I became a certified personal trainer in 2009 after working as a professional engineer for over 10 years. I followed up my PT certification with nutrition courses and finally a certification in nutrition coaching. I became a figure competitor in the fall of 2011 after hiring my own coach. I went on to win 2nd in my debut in figure and 1st & 2nd in my second show. This year I am aiming to get my pro card in the WBFF and compete as a pro in Vegas 2013.
