Why wait? I can’t stop thinking about this- so let’s just roll with it now. You need to be CEO of your health and you’ve been thinking about this for a while, you just need to know what/where/when/how. I got you. But let’s lift up others in the process too. Watch the FULL video and then apply for coaching from the 🔗 in bio. Let’s go 💪🏼

Fifteen years ago today, I lost my grandpa. He was one of the smartest, hardest-working, and bravest men I’ve ever known. At 19, he came to this country with nothing but a suitcase and built the American dream from the ground up.

He turned a garage-based business into a thriving corporation through sheer grit and leadership. He raised a family, contributed to his community, and left behind enough of a financial legacy that it gave me the courage to leave the corporate world and start my own business.

But here’s the part that stuck with me the most: his health couldn’t keep up with his brilliance.

I’ll never forget the tracks on his chest from open-heart surgery or the scars on his legs where they harvested veins. His mind was razor-sharp and he could still recall every machine part he’d ever designed, but his body was failing. Later, a brain tumor and surgery left him unable to bounce back, and his final year was spent in a nursing facility, asking us to take him home.

That memory haunts me. What if he had nourished his body with the same discipline he poured into his work and family? What could his last years have looked like if health had been his priority too?

👉 That’s why I push this message: you’re not just training for today. You’re training for 10, 20, 30 years from now.
👉 Because the body you neglect today might be the very thing that robs you of the life you’re working so hard to build.

So I’ll ask you: when you look at your parents or grandparents, what do you wish they had done differently for their health? And how can you start applying that lesson to your own life now?

Ego lifting is the fastest way to stall progress. I know because I’ve done it.

Last year I loaded up the leg press with 6 wheels a side. Looked strong, felt brutal, quads were on fire… but if I’m being honest? It wasn’t full range of motion. I left gains on the table.

The shift came when my new coach called me out. Yes, I need this too. I pulled a few wheels off, changed my foot position, adjusted the seat, and started moving through the full range. Suddenly the muscles I actually wanted to grow lit up.

Here’s the truth:
• Exercise selection matters for how your body looks and feels.
• Ex*****on matters even more.
• Working harder in the gym doesn’t guarantee progress. Working smarter does.

This isn’t just about muscle either. Proper training keeps your back from aching every time you get out of bed, your knees strong when you’re running around with your kids, and your confidence high when you throw on a shirt and actually like the way it fits.

A well-executed plan beats ego lifting every single time.

I used to tell myself I didn’t have time to meal prep. The truth was, I just didn’t know how.

Chipotle was one of my go-to stops, and I had no clue how far off those meals were from what I actually needed for my goals. I didn’t even know what my target should be back then. I felt softer than I wanted to be, and that’s when I hired my first coach over 5 years ago.

I knew I wasn’t going to track macros on my own, and honestly, I didn’t know what they should look like for my activity level. Once I started, it was eye-opening. You realize how much fat sneaks into your food and how little protein most meals really have.

Today I recreated one of my old Chipotle orders- standard serving size, not even the extra generous scoops they really use- and it came out to almost 1,900 calories with over 100 grams of fat. No wonder I was spinning my wheels back then. (Ps- if you’re in Buffalo, Lloyd’s is wayyyy better!! IYKYK)

Learning how to meal prep took me years, but now it saves me time, money, and the food tastes better than anything I used to grab on the go.

If you want my step-by-step meal prep guide, send me a DM with “MEAL PREP” and I’ll send it your way. 💪🏼

It’s time to talk about this. I’ve heard it too many times and we need to address the elephant in the room.

If you’re not comfortable butt nekkid with the lights on when spicy time is on the table, this is your wake-up call.

It’s not about just “trying harder” or telling yourself you need to do better. That’s surface-level. The truth is you need a system in place. Structure. A plan that actually builds the body and the confidence you keep wishing would just appear.

You can and should feel powerful in your skin in the boardroom, at the golf course, or standing in front of your team. That confidence matters even more when you’re with your trusted partner in the most intimate moments.

If you’re hiding under dim lights or hoping your shirt distracts from the soft midsection, it’s not just about aesthetics- it’s about how you see yourself. And if you don’t fix that, it bleeds into every other area of your life.

This is the sign you’ve been ignoring. Stop telling yourself you’ll figure it out “someday.” Get the system in place. Build the body. Build the confidence. Feel like the man you actually want to be in the gym, at work, and in your bedroom.

I’ll never forget standing in the dressing room at Dick’s Sporting Goods about 5 years ago I was holding back tears as I tried on a swimming racing suit for the first time in almost two decades since two shoulder surgeries took me out of the pool for good.

It wasn’t the familiar and reminiscent pain from the straps digging in that got me - it was the reflection staring back. I didn’t look like the sprinter I used to. I still looked athletic, but much softer.

The truth? I had plenty of discipline. I was grinding in my business 10–12 hours a day, coaching clients, running a household, and managing life as a stepmom. (Boy was life different then) But when it came to my own health… I didn’t have a plan.
• My workouts were random, whatever I could throw together in between clients.
• Starbucks egg bites and coffee were lunch way too often.
• Chipotle on the go felt like “meal prep.”

I was in the gym all day, yet my own fitness was slipping. I made plans for everyone else - but not for myself.

That was the moment I knew I needed structure and accountability. I wasn’t willing to create an actual workout plan for myself and I certainly wouldn’t track macros unless someone was breathing down my neck. So I outsourced it.

That decision changed everything. Structure in motion. The result: My energy came back. My hormones balanced. My confidence followed.

And now? I actually recognize myself when I look in the mirror. Those swimmer shoulders are back and even better - even though I’m not in the pool. I see the person I identify as: the driven athlete. It just looks different now. Not as a swimmer, but as a bodybuilder.

The structured workouts, macro plan, lifestyle habits, and accountability I get from my coach are the same tools I now use with my clients. Because you don’t need more discipline- you need a plan built for your life.

I’m not talking about the cost of your 2pm coffee every afternoon from your favorite coffee shop. Sure, that adds up over time (especially if it’s a PSL from $bux)..

I’m talking about how your energy is impacting your true potential at work, your ability to be fully present with your family, all those times driving like an , and the short fuse you have for your kids after work - not to mention, when is the last time you actually said YES to your partner for spicyyy time?!

The ROI of energy is absolutely massive.

When you get your energy back, you stop skipping workouts - saying things like “I’ll start Monday”. You’re a better friend, parent, and partner. You make better decisions at work and make more money hunny!!

The real cost of low energy is too high. Will you stay where you are today, or take action to get where you really want to be? DM me and let’s get to work on a game plan!

10/10/2025

“My metabolism slowed down because I’m getting older”.

Is it your age, or did you slow down? 🫠

Stuck at a desk all day, then sit in your car to drive home. Sit at the table for dinner, then sit at the kids sports, or maybe it’s a night you decided to rot on the couch because it’s been a non stop day and you’re drained. 😴

You’ve been so busy that you forgot to eat. Coffee breakfast, sometimes you grab a quick lunch on the go, but dinner is always “healthy”. You’re pretty sure you’re not getting enough protein but you aren’t quite sure.

Under fueled- so common. Let’s take a road trip without putting fuel in the gas tank though. We just aren’t going to get very far and your body is telling you the same thing from an energy standpoint.

Our default biology as humans is survival. The brain says store and conserve energy- especially when you aren’t moving enough or eating enough.

Structure can prime that pump with the right blueprint in place. Heavy lifting hitting the muscle groups you need - in an organized fashion on given days. The kind that helps you move better year over year, but also boosts strength and energy. Structure in your nutrition for recovery from that hard work you’re putting in the gym and to keep you nourished and energized. No guesswork. No saved IG workouts. DM me “BLUEPRINT” and we’ll make the one that fits your life together. 💪🏼💪🏼

Being the healthiest in your circle does not mean you are healthy.
It just means you are comparing yourself to people who are not even trying.

They joke about dad bods or wine culture.
They skip workouts.
They coast.

And because you are a little better than them, you tell yourself you are doing fine.
But deep down you know you are stuck.

That gap you feel, the tight clothes, the 3 pm crash, the short fuse at home, is the difference between who you say you are and how you actually show up.

For men, it is hiding behind bourbon or caffeine.
For women, it is numbing with busyness or another glass of wine.
Different masks, same problem.

You do not need more motivation. You need a higher standard.
One that demands more than average.
One that matches the leader, the athlete, the parent you know you are supposed to be.

Because average effort will never get you the body, the energy, or the respect you want.
Not at work. Not at home. Not in life.

It is time to raise the bar.
DM me FORGED and I will give you the system and accountability to finally match your identity with your actions.

10/08/2025

“It’s not that bad.”
“I should be able to figure it out on my own.”

That voice isn’t truth. It’s protection. It keeps you comfortable while you drift farther from the person you say you are.

You feel the gap. That tension in your chest at 3 pm. The short fuse at home. The loose clothes that got tight. Work is on point, but your health is running on fumes. You tell yourself you’re busy. Your body hears, “No plan.”

This is cognitive dissonance. Your identity says athlete, protector, high performer. Your actions say snooze button, skipped lifts, random meals, two drinks to take the edge off. That mismatch hurts. It shows up as frustration, shame, and hiding behind jokes.

If this hits, good. That means the real you is still in there.

Here’s how we close the gap and get you back in integrity with yourself:
• Decide your standard. “I am a person who trains and eats like an adult.” Say it out loud.
• Put proof in place. Lift 3 to 4 days. Protein at every meal. 7 hours of sleep. Walk daily. Track for one week.
• Remove the friction. Stock your kitchen for your goals. Stop bringing home foods you binge. Plan your next three workouts.
• Keep score. KPIs for your body, not just your job. Steps, lifts, macros, sleep.
• Get held to it. Motivation fades. Standards stick when someone checks your work.

When your identity and your habits match, afternoons stop crashing. Your patience comes back. Clothes fit right. Confidence returns. Your partner sees it before you do. You lead at work and at home because your energy is real again.

If you’re done living in the gap and ready to lead like a man or woman who trains, DM me FORGED. I will build your plan, set your macros, review your lifts, and hold you to the standard you already believe is yours.

Hitting a major goal feels incredible. 💪🏼💪🏼

So many people fall into a TRAP after this timeframe though. Don’t make the mistake most people make after, which is walking away from structure completely and REBOUNDING HARD. The pounds can pack on quickly and you’re left feeling mentally, physically, and emotionally worse than ever.

To be honest- I feel like I could eat my hand off and absolutely raid my kitchen cabinets right now. There are foods I just don’t even trust myself to buy yet because I’ll go HAM on them. After months in a deep deficit, my body is screaming for all the dopamine hitting foods- and lots of them. (I LOVE feeling full 🫠)

That doesn’t mean I’ve lost discipline.
It means my body is doing its job.
You’ve probably felt this way before too after dieting down, doing a big cut, or getting off a GLP.

So, here it is:
✅ There are seasons to be in a deficit and seasons to grow (this is essential!!)
✅ You can be disciplined without being “all or none”
✅ A flexible meal once or twice a week won’t ruin progress if the rest of your nutrition is on point (I didn’t say all weekend, every weekend)
✅ Living on GLP-1s or GLP-2s without eating is a fast track to muscle loss and an ugly rebound. I’d like to SCREAM this one!!!

The fix isn’t about continuing to move more and eat less or to have more restriction. It’s learning how to fuel your body for performance while still allowing flexibility so you don’t undo all the progress you worked so hard for.

High performers don’t need another fad or crash diet.
You need a plan that keeps you lean, strong, and energized for the long haul.

DM me “BLUEPRINT” if you’re ready to walk into your next phase with structure that actually works.

Maybe this is unhinged.
Maybe it’s the first time I’m showing up here as my real self.

The stress of this year has paled in comparison to even the most chaotic 2020. If you’re likeminded, you understand exactly what I mean.

I no longer have a relationship with my family because it came to light they chose to secretly keep a ped0 comfortable. I’m not talking about those in DC, but yes, also those.

The duality of showing up daily for myself while watching the insanity of the world and the betrayal of my own family has been no small undertaking. Structure with nutrition and training has kept me sane.

I’ve had to redefine who “my family” is.
I’ve had to decide what loyalty actually means.
And I’ve had to do it all while holding the weight of a world on fire, genocide, violence, inhumanity, and still showing up for my own health, my clients, and my community.

For years I was trained to never talk about things like this publicly. To be polished. To keep it “fitness only.”

But it’s time.
Because I know I’m not the only one living in this duality, carrying heavy truths about the world and still trying to lead at work, show up at home, and keep your head above water.

Training and nutrition are not just about looking good.
They are about staying grounded when everything else tries to rip you apart.
They are about building a body and a mind that can withstand betrayal, chaos, and grief, and still stand tall.

So maybe this is unhinged.
Maybe it’s authentic.
Maybe it’s both.

If you’re here for more than macros and muscles, if you’re here to build resilience in a world that feels insane, you’re in the right place.

Our Story

Strength and cardio is great training for your body, but is it helping your golf game? Your best golf game requires flexibility and strength in key areas, exercises that help you separate your upper and lower body to create that powerful whip, and nervous system training to increase your speed in your game. Golf fitness training is great for your body, but not all strength training is good for your game!

I’m passionate about helping YOU reach your goals, both on and off the golf course. You can play golf comfortably, play well, and look good doing it by taking a multifaceted approach to your health and fitness. I’m here to coach you through it!

As a former Division I swimmer, and serious recreational softball athlete, I had career ending injuries take me out of the pool and the game. I became passionate about learning how the body works and how to help it recover faster, and eventually got to the performance side of things, because winning is fun too!! I enjoy playing golf all over WNY today. I’m still somewhat green at the game, but I will be a force to be reckoned with soon. (wink, wink)

Offering in-person training and now ONLINE fitness training through an amazing app!! You can train with me anywhere in the world at any time now!
