About me:

I was born in Cambodia and raised in Utah lived here about 26 yrs. I first got involve with weights in high school and kept up with it through college, I studied exercise science at USU and competed in my first natural show in 1999 and didn't place, the following year I placed 3rd in the same contest. I entered the opens division, the following yr. Once again I was left out of placing. In 2002, I decided to dedicate 100% to bodybuilding. I've researched, experimented with different training, dieting, added more cardio, posed more, got the right tan, this was the year. The outcome, I took first in my lightweight division and walked away with the overall title of Mr.Utah Natural 2002. I've placed top 3 in other shows since then and was robbed of first place a few times. I'm also a judge when I'm not competing. Most of my time is spent at ICON Health & Fitness, the Worlds largest fitness company as a trainer(NASM), multimedia talent, video production coordinator, exhibit presenter, etc. I love to do anything that's sports related; weightlifting basketball, football, volleyball, racquetball, you name it i'm there. also love the outdoors hiking, mountain biking, fishing, camping, boating love it all. My family is also very important to me, my parents, 2 sisters, neice, and nephew means the world to me. they have supported me through the thick and thin. yes i do read on occasions mostly fitness stuff though and there are some tv watching in there too sometimes.
