Why
did you become interested in fitness?
In 1987, upon graduation from high school, I joined the US Army.
I completed 6 years on active duty and attained the rank of Sergeant
before getting out in 1993 to attend the University of Delaware
in the pursuit of a Bachelor's Degree in Health & Physical
Education. In 1996, I got hired to play "Jade" on the
American Gladiators tv show. I spent 3 years on the show and in
2002, I decided to officially come out of retirement and compete
in my first loved sport of bodybuilding. The rest, as they say
is history.
When
did you first start working out?
I am a lifetime athlete and began training seriously for bodybuilding
after basic training in 1987.
What
other physical activities do you enjoy to stay fit?
karate, kickboxing, hunting, softball, rollerblading and sleeping
(recovery purposes)
What
are your goals within the fitness industry?
To become an IFBB Professional by winning the NPC Nationals in
November. I also wish to endorse a supplement company. I represented
Sportpharma during my stint as a Gladiator.
Additional Notes
I just want to thank my fans for their continued support during
bodybuilding, American Gladiators and now bodybuilding once again.
