I'm a new Texas transplant- I just started a PhD program at Baylor University in Exercise Nutrition- Fall 2006!

I am qualified to compete at the national level in the NPC in both figure and bodybuilding- I'm still trying to figure out where I fit the best.

My lifting career started with power lifting and I still hold an American record for the bench press in the WNPF in the 123 class.

My research interests include the impact of moderate carb, high-protein diets for Type 2 Diabetes, to improve glucose control, decrease insulin resistance, and prevent secondary chronic disease conditions. I have also enjoyed work as a healthy cooking instructor.
