JC was a four-sport athlete at Ottumwa, the Southern Iowa city where he grew up and currently lives. He has always loved sports, but as a high-school student didn’t care what he ate. “I had no knowledge of nutrition,” he said. That changed when he started to take bodybuilding more seriously.
After high-school, JC began playing baseball for his college’s team, but felt that his collegiate sports career was becoming more of a job. His attention and passion was slowly shifting to something he had to do as a part of his baseball team training – working out and hitting the gym regularly.
It was this newfound interest on bodybuilding that led him to develop the physique he possesses today.
