Just two determined people focused on their own goals, unaware that fate was about to reroute our paths. At first it was simple conversations and lifting together but soon turned into a genuine friendship that deepened into something more. What brought us closer was our love for the gym, outdoors, fishing, dogs, and family. These moments strengthened our bond and we realized how well we balanced each other even though we both may be too stubborn at times. What began as friendship and mutual respect for one another turned into laughter and proof that you never know what life has to bring you when you when you're lifting weights.
