Joe - NEVER!!!!!!

NM - How did it feel to win the pro card?

 

Joe - SPEECHLESS in the beginning butimg067 now it motivates me to train harder to get ready for a pro contest.

NM - One of the other competitors complained and felt that they should have beat you. How do you respond to this?

Joe - When I step on stage, I am concerned about my performance only. I want to hit my poses to the best of my ability and let the judges decide how I should be placed. Now it is the time for me to reevaluate my physique and get ready for the Pro division and always keep striving to obtain my personal best from contest to contest.

NM - What would you like to change anything about bodybuilding?

img068Joe - I would like to place Natural Bodybuilding in the health spotlight and help people to realize what the difference is between being completely natural and being unnatural.

NM - What are your future plans outside of competition

Joe - Trying to be the best husband and father I can be first. Because life is all about loving life, sharing life and time spent with family enjoying life. Then if time allows, I will always be striving to improve my body, promote the NGA and NaturalMuscle and attempt to achieve my personal best from contest to contest.
