What got you started in fitness modeling?

I was born to less than desirable parents and when I was turned six the state of Utah acknowledged my situation and decided to remove me and my two sisters from the home we were in.   My sisters went into foster care and I was basically institutionalized in the children's hospital and later moved to a boy’s home.  I had a lot of emotional issues from abuse and the lack of care that every child should have for healthy development.  During this time I had very little interaction with my family with the exception of my grandma, who kept in touch making every effort to get me and my sisters out of our situations.  When she would come up to visit she would tell me stories of my uncle’s bodybuilding efforts and his story of becoming Mr. Utah several times. He was a great guy who was handsome and had an amazing muscular physical body, I was sold. I thought to my self, how could I be a bodybuilder?
