Can you tell us a little about the show in which you most recently competed?
Just recently took 2nd place at Pittsburgh Pro Masters Championship 2014. It was my 5th show this year (4 in 12 weeks) and the culminating show of my rookie season where I had four top 10 finishes, a master’s win, and scored 1 point for the Olympia.
How did you feel after pre-judging?
I was very confident following pre-judging. I had brought my best package of the season and felt much better about posing, which had been an issue all season.
How did you feel about the final results of the show?
Like I rightfully placed second behind Michael Anderson.
What are your thoughts on the Men's Physique Division and what it may be able to do for your career?
I love the sport and hope it gains respect from the wider bodybuilding community. Every season I hear rumblings of transitioning from board shorts to boxer briefs, and I’m in favor of it. Personally, I see myself as one the elite competitors in the sport and look forward gracing the cover of some fitness magazine.
