Who is Stryker?

Very few people in this world find their calling at such an early age, but Stryker was one of the lucky few. At the young age of fourteen, Stryker was invited by a group of his friends to go and work out at a local gym. Quietly, he sat back and watched as his friends unsuccessfully tried to bench press 135 pounds. Stryker then took his turn and began repping the weight, much to the amazement of his friends. Envious, his group of friends abandoned Stryker at the gym and left him to walk ten miles back home. That walk was one of victory and enlightenment as he reveled in his new-found passion. The course was set for Stryker who was destined to build his empire in the world of bodybuilding.

Following that fateful day in the gym, Stryker trained diligently for three years and began sharing his love of bodybuilding when he became the first personal trainer in the very gym in which he got his start. He struck a deal with the gym owner wherein Stryker would receive a free gym membership and five dollars a day for maintaining the gym and training its members.

One day, Stryker saw a magazine that one of the members had brought in to the gym. It featured Mr. Olympia, Samir Banout on the cover and Stryker again saw his chance to take it to the next level. From that initial inspiration, he set out to compete in local bodybuilding competitions, relying only upon himself as a trainer. In 1991, glory again found Stryker when he won the coveted, light-heavyweight West African title. Stryker is so much more than a highly-respected athlete. He is also a patriot, father, and active humanitarian and very passionate about helping others in many areas of life.
