On August 6, 1986, Derek Joe was born in Mesa, Arizona. Although, he grew up in Tuscon, Arizona. Derek Joe\u2019s competitive nature and love for sports lead him to natural bodybuilding. Growing up, Joe played every sport – if it involved running and jumping and a ball, Joe\u2019s played it. <\/span><\/p>\n

He was a three-sport letterman in high school for football, basketball, and track. His prowess on the field earned him a spot on the football team at the junior college level, where he played for two years. After that, Derek Joe landed a position on the team as an assistant coach and strength and conditioning coach.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, Derek Joe missed competing and needed something to fill that void. And his desire was met once a friend who happened to be a pro natural bodybuilder encouraged him to start competing in natural bodybuilding. His friend was sure he would do good! Well, it turns out Joe\u2019s friend\u2019s hunch was correct. Derek Joe stated: <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter stepping on stage for the first time and seeing the other more experienced athletes, my eyes were opened to just how far I could potentially take my body naturally. From that point, I was set on continuing to compete and push my own natural limits.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Since then, natural bodybuilding has worked out well for this 2021 Natural Olympia<\/a> Classic Physique champ. Admittedly, Joe’s been open about the difficult decisions he had to make regarding his lifestyle, career, relationships, finances, and time. Although, he said it\u2019s been worth it. He recently quit a full-time medical sales job he worked at for three years. Now, Derek Joe plans to coach other athletes and the general population to reach their fitness goals. And, of course, he plans to ramp up his training to prep for future competitions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
