our story

Side-by-side comparison of a shirtless man with curly hair and glasses, taking a mirror selfie in a bathroom, and the same man with long hair, posing in black shorts and socks against a black background, showing muscular physique.

I’m 32 years old and an amateur bodybuilder with plans to compete in 2026 to earn my IFBB pro card. fitness has always been on of my greatest passion and over the years i’ve dedicated myself to learning everything i van to help others succeed. i currently hold 6 certifications: bodybuilding, strength + conditioning, Tactical Conditioning, Nutritionist & Corrective Exercise

from childhood, obesity shaped my life. making its face known in every factor of my life and crashing my self confidence in every way possible. after years of struggling with my weight: trying every diet, pill, plan, & even a holistic dr. i decided to have VSG in 2019, but i quickly realized that surgery alone wasn’t the full solution, especially since i was still dealing with an eating disorder.

The real transformation didn’t come from surgery, but from Combining the right tools to Build a truly healthy lifestyle. I turned to heavy weight training and good nutrition, and through that, i’ve reshaped not just my body but my entire mindset. Over the past 7 years i’ve lost 160lbs and discovered that anything i set my mind to is possible.

I currently hold 4 certifications: CPT, Strength & Conditioning, Nutritionist & Business of Personal Training through ISSA. now, i’m here to help you break free from the fad diets. build confidence and strength and create life long tools for success. Everyone needs someone in their corner, let me be your accountability Partner
