I came to America with a fitness dream.

I wanted to train at the Mecca, be around the best, learn from the best, and live right in the middle of the bodybuilding and fitness world I had admired from Sweden.

And I did.

I came. I trained. I flexed.

I met incredible people, trained in legendary gyms, worked with people I had once only known from magazines and television, and somehow ended up with a whole lot of pictures of us flexing together.

Some I worked with. Some I trained with. Some became friends. Some I simply met along the way.

And apparently, if you stood next to me long enough, eventually I made you flex.

I had a dream. I went after it. And I got to live it.

I learned so much. I met incredible people.

It was the fitness dream I came to America to live. And oh did I live that out!

Here's to pursuing our dreams, finding new ones, and making them come true!
