Hello Steemit I'm a Nationally Qualified Powerlifter, Certified PT, and I'm looking to bring the world Happiness Through Fitness!

Hello, everyone!
First, let me say thank you for taking the time to check out any of my content. I sincerely appreciate it!

So my story goes like this, up until the time I was around 15 or so, I was a scrawny weakling with no self-confidence. I literally couldn't speak to girls, I barely had friends and I had crippling anxiety. I'll always remember the day my life changed forever.
Here's a picture to give you an idea of how far I've come.

I was sitting in the dark in my basement playing Skyrim (shoutout if you loved skyrim too) when my brother and his friend literally forced me to go lift with them. They did this consistently for a week or so and once I looked in the mirror and saw the slightest change I was completely hooked. I recognized that with the gym as my tool I could literally become a whole new person. I started watching as many youtube videos as I could to try and gain knowledge about lifting. Fast forward a year and I fell in love with powerlifting. Fast forward another and I began my degree in Kinesiology at Temple University. 2 years after discovering powerlfting I compete in my first meet, took home gold and became nationally qualified. I've learned more than I would have ever imagined about how to grow stronger. I also took an interest in nutrition so I have an extensive knowledge about weight manipulation and how to be healthy when it comes to your diet. I truly enjoy helping others and would love it if anyone who had any sort of question left it in the comments. I'd be more than happy to assist anyone with any fitness or nutrition related struggles they're having.
Once again thank you so much for reading I truly appreciate it.

Here are some pics of me on my journey.
