I was born June 7th, 1983 in Pontiac, Michigan. I was 3rd oldest in a family of 10.

I joined the US Air Force at 19 and quit at 22. As I was preparing for my re-entry into civilian life, I met my wife and began my career in call center customer service. This career as you may know, is quite less active than my previous one. So, naturally I began to put on a few pounds. Then, after ten months my wife became pregnant with our son Logan. During this pregnancy my weight began to increase rapidly as we always ate together, whether I was hungry or not, while she was eating for 2 and me for 1. Two years later we had our second son Nathan. and I had hit the 200 lbs mark. This is when I knew I had to do something. So, I tried dieting and exercise but has not done much.

So, now I am doing the Advocare Challenge. I am confident with both me and my wife doing this together, we will not only lose the weight we wish to lose, but keep it off as well.

That is me in a nutshell.
