Years ago, I had the absolute pleasure of being an Expeditor for the amazing Steve Stone. What did that mean? Well, almost every weekend, I was backstage at bodybuilding shows, wearing multiple hats and keeping the chaos organized. Expediting wasn’t just a role—it was an adventure! I did everything from managing the flow of the show and playing traffic cop to gluing, taping, stapling, and even tanning people (yes, really!).
It didn’t stop there. I prepped rooms, prepped people, acted as Master of Ceremonies (MC), promoted events, tallied scores, set up the show order (and often changed it on the fly!), and basically handled anything and everything that needed to get done. One year, out of 52 weeks, I was part of 42 shows, and believe it or not, this wasn’t even my full-time job. Clearly, I loved every minute of it!
The best part? The lifelong friends I’ve made in and around this incredible sport. I still remember Steve saying something that has stuck with me to this day: “For some people, the day of the show may be the best they’ve "ever looked" and "ever will" look.”
I started the channel to give people a glimpse into the world of bodybuilding and the amazing individuals who pour their hearts into competing. My goal is to show everyone that it’s not only possible but also totally doable to achieve extraordinary things through determination and hard work.
