| I was born Amy Renee' Meacham, married name Roberts. I was born on March 4, 1970 in Phoenix, Arizona. Parents were divorced when I was 2, so I was raised in California with my mom and went to Arizona to stay with my dad. I live in Harrisburg, PA with my wonderful husband and my youngest daughter, Michaella. I am a mother of 3, a son 15, a daughter 13 and then my youngest 6. My husband is very supportive of me and the things I love. |
| sum it all up for us: |
| The first meet I ever saw was the one in Clayton, NC. I was hooked after that!!! My first competition was a USAPL meet in Wilmington, NC with a bench of 95 lbs. The biggest meet I have been to so far was the Johnny Perry Memorial in Clayton, NC, which by the way is my FAVORITE meet. I like to bench raw or with a shirt (Karin's DD ofcourse). |
| weight class: |
| 132 - 165 |
| other interests: |
| I like snowboarding, swimming, animals and crafts. I have been a stand in mom for many baby animals. I have bottle fed around 300 kittens. I also like tattoos, crazy hair, and people who are fun, crazy and honest. That is one reason I love competing in powerlifting. I have met some of the best people in the world at these meets. |
| employment: |
| I am lucky that I get to stay home and raise my children. I own my own business "Jammin' Jellies" which ofcourse is gourmet jam. |

To Matt and the gang at Phuza Juice and Java and Sahra, Chew and the crew at Jade Monkey Studios in Wilmington, NC off of Collage Rd. for all the support and encouragement that you have given me.

To Jeff and Trish McVicar for all the support, information and friendship you have shown me. To Ronnie Shirly and Amy Vaughan for being there when I have had a question or needed any help. To John Pinder for all of your support and for introducing me to the Karin's shirt. Also to Rebecca and John Lane for introducing me to this sport I love so much.
