My Transformation Journey
At my heaviest, I weighed 245 pounds and struggled with confidence and health issues. Fitness wasn't just about getting in shape—it was about reclaiming my life and becoming the person I knew I could be.
Through consistency, discipline, and a complete lifestyle transformation, I've lost 75 pounds of fat while building muscle and confidence. My journey taught me that physical transformation is really about mental strength.
Now I'm passionate about helping others discover their potential through fitness. Whether you're just starting or looking to break through plateaus, I believe everyone has an athlete within them waiting to emerge.
My Fitness Journey
From my first day in the gym to becoming a certified trainer, here's how my transformation unfolded
The Beginning
Started my fitness journey at 245 pounds. Could barely run a quarter mile and struggled with basic bodyweight exercises.
First Milestone
Lost my first 50 pounds through consistent training and nutrition. Ran my first 5K without stopping.
Discovering Strength Training
Began weight training and fell in love with powerlifting. Built my first real muscle and changed my body composition dramatically.
Becoming a Coach
Earned my personal training certification and started helping others on their fitness journeys.
Competition Debut
Competed in my first natural bodybuilding competition, placing 3rd in the novice category.
My Training Philosophy
The principles that guide my approach to fitness and coaching
Progressive Overload
I believe in consistently challenging your body with increased demands. Whether it's more weight, more reps, or better form, progress happens when you push beyond your comfort zone.
Nutrition First
You can't out-train a bad diet. I focus on sustainable nutrition habits rather than restrictive diets—finding what works for your body and lifestyle.
Consistency Over Intensity
Showing up consistently, even on days you don't feel like it, is more important than occasional bursts of extreme effort. Small, daily actions create lasting results.
Mind-Muscle Connection
Training with intention and focus yields better results than going through the motions. Quality of movement always trumps quantity.
