Well hello to all!!!! I sure hope everyone is doing great!  I am terribly sorry it has been so long for an update on the profile.  The main reason is I have been VERY focused on my career.  As everyone knows, I lived my first 30 years of life have a great time and working many different jobs.  Most of the time I was working part time in various clubs.  I spent some time working as a Bail Enforcement Agent as well.  My big promise I made to myself was that when I hit age 30 I will stop the childish lifestyle and grow up.  Put the big boy pants on, LOL. 

I hit 30 and was working for the Railroad as a Freight train conductor and was doing pretty good.  THEN, I met a woman who was a wonderful person and moved to Ramsey, NJ to live with her and her perfect 3 children.  Big problem was the railroad did not accept my transfer.  So back to square one again.  Due to not staying in college (WOW WHAT A DUMB MOVE) I had a hard time finding a job.  But, of course, if you work hard you get it.  I began life as a Cell Tower Climber.  Funny thing about heights, they grow on you.  You begin to like the long climb up a 150 FT plus cell tower.  Seeing I am the man with bad luck, I was laid off.  I then took a job driving a Class B truck delivering of all things, Propane.  I was the Hank Hill man, LOL.  That job was OK, but you know when you have more to offer and your current job just does not live up to your expectations.  Well that was where I was.  I did switch company's to a better hazardous materials delivery company but I still felt the same way.

I then was lucky enough to receive a call from US Customs & Border Protection.  I went away to my academy for four months.  Was a very rough time in life due to the deg ration of my relationship.  I did not know that the time it was a blessing in degradation.  Upon my return home i was told i should move out.  I did and moved to NY Queens area. 

Since my move I have basically worked on getting my feet wet in my new job.  I have also met someone who is incredible.   I am also still working on my career and trying to advance in the government.  The main reason I have not competed is due to the uncertainty of the next academy.  I will be going back to a 4-6 month academy for another position within the government.  I do have the bug and would LOVE to compete again.  Have no fear, I WILL STEP ON STAGE AGAIN!!!!  When I do I will have all my weak points improved. 

Currently I am approximately. 225 and getting leaner.  My focus for this summer is 225 at 7%.  That will have me competing around 215 which is my goal for the next competition.  I am training very hard and completely focused now.  I am still training four days a week and doing extra cardio in between. 

I will get some pictures soon.  I still do not own a camera.  I am like a cave man sometimes.  On another note, living in NYC is great.  You can go surfing in a half hour or in time square.  This is truly an incredible part of the country to live in. 

To all my friends, keep up the encouragement and stay focused.  Being positive is a choice and it molds your road! Respect & Love,

Jody
