Mr. Universe
As Mr. Universe, I lead a selfish life and it was all about me. 
I had built this huge body (300 lbs.) and it had enormous strength, but it was a physical strength only. I was idolized and I idolized my body. Along with this came the social trappings of alcohol, drugs and adultery.
It cost me my family.
Salvation
I had hit rock bottom. My wife had kicked me out and I had lost my two young children. After several months of drinking, feeling sorry for myself and waiting for my divorce papers...I realized that I couldn't take it anymore. I found the Lord Jesus, and he held my hand as he lead me to salvation. He had built in me an inner strength that was more powerful than anything before.
He brought back my family.
Speaking
I still workout, but now it is for my savior's glory. The strength he has given me I now use to
strengthen others. To build strong bodies with a strong spirit to serve and honor God. My wife, Kris, and I have started our own Ministry - Become Fit. Our ministry's focus is to honor the gift of our bodies, which are not ours but God's (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
