MJ has never been one to let life happen to her. She believes hard work and determination can accomplish almost anything. She grew up in a small farming town in northern Missouri, and as soon as she graduated high school, couldn’t wait to leave for fashion school. During this first year of school, she developed a binge eating disorder because of how miserable this path made her. So, she stayed in fashion school for the first full year, and then moved to Boston to figure out what life held in store for her next.

Living in Boston was a time of transition for MJ. As soon as she moved, she changed her eating habits, but in the opposite direction. She became Anorexic, and developed the Female Athlete Triad, which is menstruation dysfunction, excessive under-eating, and decreased bone mineral density. Her turning point was when she shattered her foot at a 6am CrossFit class the day before her 21st birthday, which meant she had reconstructive foot surgery on her birthday.

She realized she had to make a change in her life, so she signed up for her first bikini bodybuilding show, where she knew she needed to let her foot heal, and gain at least 10 pounds to get on stage. After a year of prep, she placed 5th, but she didn’t feel the gratification she expected. Soon after, she discovered powerlifting, which is completely objective, and after placing 1st at her first meet, she was hooked!
