I was born in Cincinnati, Ohio and for a while was a long distance truck driver with my brother. All the bouncing around in the truck led to lower back problems that have since developed into arthritis in the lower back. In 2010 I moved to Las Vegas where I now reside and the heat has helped my back tremendously. I am wanting to lose the weight so that I can be there for my fiancé at the wedding because she deserves someone who is looking after himself the best way he can. She is my everything.
