What's my story, you might ask? Think of a biography with the grit and authenticity of Ernest Hemingway. No matter what I’ve done to pay the bills, there has always been one thing that kept me grounded. That magic ingredient, the thing that helped me survive and thrive, has always been my genuine passion for fitness.

Let me take you back to where it all began. I was born and raised in a small town with a name so obscure that most people can’t even pronounce it. Growing up, I was a bit of a rebel—I didn’t fit in, didn’t belong. But everything changed the day my high school opened a gym. That moment was a turning point; it completely transformed my life.

That was over 25 years ago. Yes, you heard that right—a journey spanning more than two decades and counting. It’s been a relentless pursuit of growth, countless hours of sweat, and a steadfast commitment to giving 110%. That same dedication is what I’ll bring to the table when we start working together.

I won’t sugarcoat it—this journey won’t always be easy. It never is. If it were, you wouldn’t be here, looking for someone like me to help guide you.

So, how about it? Are you ready to make meaningful changes in your life and become the best version of yourself?
