Carlo, like Evan, is one of the good guys in the sport. He'd give you the shirt off his back. Way to go Muscle Chef!!!

See you at the NY Pro? (An under 210 class this year I hear...)

Hey Rob, Do you believe it!!!????  Thanks man, I started preparing the day I got off of the stage at the nationals in 2006(after a slight asskicking).  It all worked out.  Thanks for believing in me.  Thanks to everyone who has been supportive throughout the years.  It's truly an amazing feeling.

What do you plan on doing now that you have your card?  A lot of new pros will say they plan on taking a year off and adding 20 pounds or something along those lines.  Your thoughts?

Please oh please do not take this wrong, but what will a winner of a "Welterweight" class do in the pro rankings? It just seems all they look for is the mass and to put your body through all it goes through, why even take the chance? Again, this is not meant to be mean at all i'm just curious.

Carlo brother, I never had a fucking doubt about this win bro. I knew that day you bought that used LeBaron off that spanish dude in Newark you were destined for giant things. So eat some pancakes with ice cream all over them and maybe think about how you can relish this win lkmlolaaljsalhlh

165?  What I meant was that if he put on 30 pounds of mass with good conditioning at his height he could presumably do damage in the IFBB.  David Henry did that within five years of turning pro and is doing very well now.

Whoah!  Wow guys!  Thanks for all the support.  Robby, you've always been supportive of me, I can't thank you enough!  Bob, you said one day I'd be a great middleweight, well.... didn't happen, but how bout' that welterweight!!!  Listen guys, I can't thank all of you enough for being supportive.  A funny thing happened in 2002.  I began placing well at the national level.  It wasn't really til then that I believed that I could actually be a pro.  Now, understand, I never believed I could be Mr. O, nor do I believe that now, but I am proud, VERY proud to say that I am an IFBB pro.  Anyone who knows me, knows that I am first and foremost a businessman.  A businessman who just loves to compete.  I have very seldom put bodybuilding first and everything else second, when I have, I have failed miserably.  I can honestly say that I can compete because I work, I wouldn't change that for anything.  What am I going to do with my pro card many of you ask?  Well, first off, I will accept it graciously ;D, then, I will try, over the course of a year or two or three, to put on as much quality muscle as possible, all while I, get married, continue my business endeavors(you guys will here a lot more about this real soon!), with the blessing of God, begin a family, and then, if my finances allow it, I would love to compete in the IFBB as pro, especially since they now have an under 202 lbs. class.  It would be a pleasure to be able to say that I have competed with the world's elite bodybuilders.  Thanks again to all of you for the support and kind words!  Here is a pic from the evening finals where I weighed about 172lbs.
