He played American football at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, TN, United States of America. He has also participated in CrossFit events and competed for the New York Rhinos in the National Pro Grid League, a professional fitness competition. (californiastrength.com, 2017)

He began weightlifting seriously in October 2014 after he had graduated from college. (knoxnews.com, 09 May 2016)

He was inspired to start lifting by his father. "Ever since I was a little kid I wanted to look like these pictures I had of my dad from when he was younger and did a bodybuilding show. When I was 12 I had him show me how to lift. He showed me some basic things and I immediately started going down to our basement, where we kept all of our equipment, to train all the time. I played multiple sports so trying to get stronger and faster for those was always a priority and my dad told me that training was the way to do that."
