I was born and grew up in the city of Sofia, Bulgaria. I began training with weights when I was in 9-th grade. Although I had some very serious gains in my first several years I didn't get involved in body building on a professional level until I left the army.

In the years, prior to my departure to the US I was quite successful on a local level. However, my dream was to compete against the best in the world in the sport of Natural bodybuilding. And that is what brought me in the United States.

To date, I have competed in several competitions in the US. So far I have consistently placed in the Top 5 in Musclemania, a chain of prestigious natural world events. I also won the overall title of the NPC Tampa Bay Classic in 2004.

In addition to the awards in bodybuilding competitions, I hold a Master's degree in Industrial Management as well as degrees as a Bodybuilding Trainer and Massage Therapist.

Since my arrival in the U. S. I have competed in several Musclemania Natural Bodybuilding contests, as well as one NPC show - 2004 Tampa Bay Classic - which I won.

Currently, I spend most of my time designing the "foods of the future" as I see them. I own and operate a Healthy Lifestyle Cafe and Bakery in Tampa, FL - Viitals - www.viitals.com
