William Branch Warren was born on February 28th, 1975 in Tyler, Texas. His first stage appearance was rather early on in his career, when he was still in highschool, where he won the 1992 AAU Teenage Mr. America competition. From the very start he was willing to do whatever it took to build his physique and get to the top. When he was a teen he used to sneak into the local gym through the back door because he couldn’t afford the cost of a membership. After getting his first taste of success at such a young age, his love for the sport of bodybuilding only grew. It was with great determination that he went on to win his first National Physique Commitee (NPC) event, the NPC Teenage Nationals.

It was Branch’s early success that built the muscular foundation that helped launch him into the pro ranks in 2001 by winning the National Bodybuilding & Fitness Championships, earning him his Pro card. But it was 2004 that catapulted his already-promising career to new heights when he made his pro debut at the Night of Champions, placing 8th and taking the bodybuilding world by storm. In 2006, he competed in his first Arnold Classic, almost winning the competition by taking 2nd place!
