1. I desire to represent my community as part of “Team USA” at the world’s largest

natural bodybuilding competitions. I placed first at a regional event earlier this year
earning a spot to compete at nationals (a international level qualifier). I just got back
from California where I competed at the national “Team USA” qualifier (see first
event below). I took second place in my division and am officially a part of “Team
USA”. On this team I will be representing the United States at two international
shows, Natural Olympia (in Aus) and Natural Universe (in CA). I hope to use any
success I have in this sport to be a positive role model and help improve health and
fitness within the Coast Guard and my local community. I also desire to help educate
young athletes in south Florida on the importance of being a “clean” athlete and the
dangers of performance enhancing drugs. For more information please visit my blog

6. It is my passion to be a champion for natural athletics and do whatever I can towards

helping create a drug free America. Based on my achievements so far (top two in
 three shows) and a letter from the INBA international president, I believe I have an
excellent opportunity to do very well during the above competitions. While I do have
my command’s full support and all the time off I need to train, I understand that this
is a very intense, ambitious, and expensive goal and can only undertake it with the full
support of my community. If you would like to support my cause and are able to help
offset some of my costs (any amount is helpful) please contact me or go to
www.givinganon.org and donate directly.
