First BLOG!

Here comes my first Big Rig BLOG!!
I have recently accepted the role of Spokes model for Big Rig Supplements. I am very excited to learn more about the products & share what I learn with everyone!

I want to give you a snapshot of my background & my upcoming projects and goals.

I grew up on a dairy farm in LeRoy; yeah that's right a farmer's daughter.. oh boy!! I began taking gymnastics at age 6 & truly believe that that is where I started to learn about discipline and hard work. I've carried that mentality right to the gym with me to this day.
I graduated from SUNY Brockport in 2001 with a B.S. in Physical Education with a Concentration in Exercise Physiology. I have been a personal trainer since college on a part-time level at several locations. (Rochester Athletic Club, The Jewish Home (absolutely adore the elderly), Oak Hill Country Club and currently at the Downtown Fitness Club)

I started doing Natural Figure competitions in 2007. I have competed in the NGA, INBF and WNSO organizations and plan on doing more in the future. I am also planning on getting my Pro Card.. IT WILL HAPPEN!

In 2008 I began training for the NGA Natural Northeast and CAN/AM shows and found out I was pregnant 2 months into the training! My husband, Adam and I were thrilled...but I was left a little confused as to what to do about the shows. I checked with my doctor and she said as long as I keep hydrated GO FOR IT... and I DID!!! The picture I attached is from this show; I got out on stage at 11-weeks pregnant and people still remember me as the "pregnant figure girl" It was so rewarding being on stage as the M.C. announced that I was nearly 3 months pregnant! The crowd gasped & I grinned from ear to ear!! I gave birth to our beautiful Samantha in October of '08. Shortly after, I started to get the itch to compete again. I decided to take part in the 2009 INBF Natural USA and NGA Olympus. These were 2 of my favorite shows. I was just so happy to have gotten back into contest shape after the baby.. and actually looked & felt better than EVER!! I have had continuous support from my trainer & sponsor, John Hutchings of the Downtown Fitness Club.

My newest venture is sewing and designing Figure bikinis! I made my own suits for the last 2 shows I did and am now starting to sell them and get a business going. You can check it out on Facebook:

OK, well that's enough about me. Thanks for reading!! More to come soon.
