- Let's start off with you telling everyone a little bit about yourself.
I live in Columbus, Ohio where I was born and raised. I have been married
to a wonderful guy for a little more than 5 years now. I have no children
yet but, I spend all my attention and affection on my two English Bulldogs:
Butkus and Brutus. I recently opened a nutrition store in the Columbus
area. I have been an NPC Fitness and Figure competitor since 2000.
One of the fitness accomplishments I'm most proud of is recently signing a
contract with Met-Rx Engineered Foods.
- Were you a tomboy growing up?
I'd say so - I was spanked more than a few times for beating up on my
playmates. My favorite things to do were play "hide & go seek" in the
woods behind my parents house, make mud soup using the vegetables I
stole from our neighbor's yards and spend hours swinging on the monkey bars
of my swingset. On the other hand, my mother insisted on dressing me in
skirts and sundresses so I probably didn't look much like a tomboy.
- What got you started in fitness?
I had the opportunity to meet and workout with DJ Wallis (IFBB pro) several
years ago. I wanted a "purpose" to my workouts - something to shoot for.
After watching several of DJ's competitions on VCR tape, I decided to GO
for it! It did take me awhile to find the right trainer so I
struggled to reach my goals at first.
- When and how did you decide to enter fitness events?
I met Mike Davies in Spring of 2000. He was everything I was looking for
in a trainer - he helped me with everything from where to buy my shoes to
what kind of diet to use. When I told him I wanted to compete he picked a
show that was just 5 weeks away - The Mike Francois Classic. I was
scared to death but, he got me ready! I placed 4th in the show.
Thanks!
