Brief History

My name is Marcus Haley.
I was born October 5, 1972, in Las Vegas, Nevada. I was brought up through foster homes as a teenager, but found sports as a way out. I went to Dakota Weslayan University for two years, but after encountering a lot a racism I came back home. I always looked up to Shawn Ray and Mike Ashley as a youth, so I knew bodybuilding was in my blood.

After I came back home, I started training at Golds Gym and met a female bodybuilder named Gabby. She took me under her wing and I soon got the bug. My first show was the Golds Gym Classic in Las Vegas. I had no clue how to diet so........
I ate hamburger patties from Mcdonalds. Carb loading was done with rice and french fries.

I took third place in the middle weight novice.

Set Backs

My biggest set back was when I broke my leg after taking 2nd in the 2002 USA.
I was set to do the nationals and get my pro card. I was on a jet ski and a friend and I were racing.
I turned into him he then hit my right leg .......
and snapped the tibia/fibia out of the skin...it was a compound fracture..

I ended up with a rod in my leg and three screws. I thought it was over for me but god gave me another chance. I was back in the gym and training in 3 months.

The biggest challenge of my life, as an athlete, will be this years USA. I know I have to push my leg to be 100% and I must push it to limits that I have never reached.

Every time I do a squat and I feel the screws its just reminds me of how much I want to achieve my ultimate dream......
to compete in the O.
