I am so excited to introduce you to my new website! I hope you enjoy your visit. 2008 has been a good year for me, however, kinda of short for me when it come to competing. In 2007, I won my first competition at the local level. I took the Overall in two shows.... The Upper Ohio Valley and The Mike Francois Classic. This qualified me for the national level, and I competed in the North American that fall.

In May 2008, I competed in two spring shows, one being the Jr. USA's in Charleston, SC. I had a wonderful time, although I did not place. This year the criteria changed in figure. The judges are looking for a much softer physique than in the past. It looks like I may have some adjustments to make to fit into this category. After gaining 18 years of mature muscle, it's hard to loose it at the drop of a hat. All in all, figure is a fun sport and I Love It! It definitely keeps me in shape!

I got started into this adventure with a wonderful friend, Mike Davies. Mike is a fantastic trainer who pushes me above and beyond any expectations. This is evident in my physiques and the changes I have made in my years of working with him. He is a great guy who really know his stuff! :) Thanks so much, Mike!

I also want to thank my wonderful husband who has helped make all this possible for me. Adam is the one who introduced me to this sport, but it wasn't until figure came along that I even thought of competing. He is my motivation and support and most importantly... the best cook ever...LOL. Thanks for all that you do for me!

"Thanks" go out to all my family and friends for all their support! Most of all, thanks to my Lord Jesus Christ for my good health which enables me to live my life. With Him all things are possible.
