HOW DID YOU GET STARTED?
Looking back I can say I have always been involved in some sort of exercise. I started jogging back in high school my junior year, I was also on the drill team, gymnastics and cheerleading squad. After the birth of each of my 5 children I picked up the exercise of jogging to help lose the weight I had gained during the pregnancy. It wasn’t actually until May 1992, that I started to get serious about being fit and increased my daily jogging exercise from 30 minutes to 60 minutes. Fourteen years later in February 2004, I decided I wanted to add some upper body strength so I started a weight resistance program, which has evolved into a six day a week 1.5 hour full body workout. I love the strength gains and beautiful muscle definition I have been able to achieve--something jogging alone could not do.

MY FAITH:

God has given me a gift and I want to share this gift with the world.

I am excited to share with you my faith in God and his son Jesus Christ. I believe that GOD sent his only begotten son, Jesus Christ to die for us so that we may have salvation. JOHN 3:16 And I believe that if you accept Him as your Lord and Savior, that you will be saved and come to know what real love is.

I've come to believe that my life-driven purpose is to minister God's love through my involvement with fitness, figure and bodybuilding.

As a competitor. mom, wife, sister, daughter and friend I am in contact with people daily who want to know how to be more fit and stay in shape. I am passionate to teach what I know, but I am even more excited to show those with the desire how to develop their spiritual fitness and have a relationship with their creator.

God Bless You!
