He created the site as a 'reference for the rest of us.' According to Mr. Hessing, "Bodybuilding has been a wonderful experience for me, providing me with self-confidence, discipline, and a sense of accomplishment. It seems that everywhere you turn, you can see references to 'total body make-overs' or 'the ideal figure'. How we look has become a national obsession. Whether it is pro athletes or the high school wrestling team, steroid scandals are in the news. Infomercials hawking 'miracle cures' and other such snake oil are pervasive. Fitness should be a self-affirming process. I wanted to create a positive environment where people could find and exchange safe, accurate information about how to get in shape." The Charlotte Bodybuilding and Fitness website gradually evolved out of another Charlotte institution. While Mr. Hessing was completing a Master of Science in Information Technology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, he created a simple nutritional supplement website as part of a larger project for a Systems Integration class. That class in turn led to him creating his own Internet Design company, Charlotte Web Development (http://www.charlottewebdevelo­pment.com). As part of researching technology for his web development business, he began constructing the base for what would become CharlotteBodybuilding.com Mr. Hessing himself if a natural bodybuilding competitor having competed in and placed in the Mr. Virginia Tech Natural Bodybuilding tournament. He has also coached friends and family on to success on both the competitive stage and in their personal goals.
