Fun Fact – How I Got The Nickname “Samson”
I first got the the nickname “Samson” when I was working as a bouncer at a night club in Scottsdale Arizona. When guys would get into fights in the club I use to stop them, pick them up, and toss them out of the club like rag dolls. I had a huge afro at that time. One of my coworkers said that I reminded him of Samson from the bible because of my long hair and super strength. From then on everybody started calling me “Samson”
Fun Fact – How I got into Weight Lifting and Bodybuilding
When I was 12 years old, I got shipped off to a group home in Mesa, Arizona. While living there I got into lifting weights. The group home, well actually it was more like a compound with several group homes, had a gymnasium and a small weight room where the kids could workout. I was living in a dorm with 10 other boys and if you were small they would pick on you. So rather then spend my time playing basketball like most of the other boys did, I spent my time lifting weights. I was so into weight lifting I even stole the Arnold Schwarzenegger encyclopedia from my junior high school library. As I began to get bigger the older boys picked on me less and less. And once the girls started noticing my muscles I was hooked!
