Thankful for the best coaches and team around! Such a great environment to be in! I’m truly blessed to be a part of this team. Best part is, I get to share these memories with my son who also got a stripe on his white belt ⚪️⚫️⚫️

My whole life I’ve trained. Began wrestling at 5 years old, active in all sports as well. Boxing, football, baseball, soccer, jiu jitsu, basketball, you name I played it. Nothing made me happier than being around people who just wanted to play growing up.
As I grew through my high school years competing throughout. Right after September 11, 2001 occurred I felt my calling for post-high school was going to be different. I joined up with the United States Marine Corps. Come to find out it was the best decision of my life. I learned so much about myself and other cultures traveling the world. In October 2004 we were deployed to Iraq where I had the honor of serving our country during a time of war. I was blessed enough to be around a outstanding bunch of men and women who helped us come back in once piece.
After the Marine Corp I had troubling fitting into different jobs. I worked as a commercial diver, laborer, welder, oil refinery terminal operator, a cook, and as a personal trainer in club gyms, but nothing satisfied me or challenged me enough. I made the mistake of letting others influence my decision making. I guess I was scared to actually think and act for myself.
Finally, I decided to make the leap and open my own Personal Training business. After years and years of training myself and others it has finally paid off. I’m so grateful and humbled by the opportunities and outpouring from people! I’m truly thankful for everyone that has supported me, helped me, had my back, and for the people who I will cross down the road, I THANK YOU!
God Bless!
In Good Health,
