I have 2 engineering degrees and work in the aerospace industry. I have lifted
weights for almost 15 years now. I got involved in weight lifting news groups
and web sites in the spring of 2001. I have really learned a lot and my lifting
has improved too.

I started lifting weights in high school in 1987 at age 15. I decided to start
playing football and got in the athletics (weight lifting) class. I was thin
and weak then. I gaining a lot of strength and 35 lb in high school. I played
3 years of football and ran track 3 years in high school. I ran the 2 mile and
1 mile in track. Getting involved in sports and weight lifting has been one of
the best decisions I have made.

I continued to lift in college and afterwards. I got much stronger in college
and gained weight slowly. I went from 150 lb to 167 lb in a 6 year stretch.
After college I could afford to eat and gained weight (mostly muscle) up to
about 188 lb. I quit working out regularly in 1999 and 2000, but started back
lifting regularly in 2001. During that off time, I lost some weight to get to
my current weight. My current bench press and squats are close to my best
workout weights in 1997 and 1998. My upper back exercises are stronger now than
ever before.

My long term goals are to continue to get stronger and continue to play rec.
sports for a long time. I plan to start competing in power lifting meets in
early 2002.
