Who Am I?

Raised in a small Midwest town, with not much going for me, I struggled with my life’s direction as a youth—the one thing I had to claim as mine was my curiosity.

I started working young and jumped into the local blue-collar workforce right out of school. Fortunately, I never lost my constant itch to learn. I burned through books and podcasts, searching for any sense of meaning in my day-to-day life.

I spent months of my free time journaling, reading, meditating, and ruthlessly exercising, all while holding down a job. Eventually, I concluded that if I had to work, it should be towards improving the lives of others.

But I had no extraordinary skills or deep pools of knowledge. Landscaping for free to save people money? No. I was surrounded by a corn-belt community of beer-drinking, McDonald’s-eating, tobacco-chewing, unhealthy people I loved dearly.

So, I pieced together my five years of lifting experience, began researching, and started working as a certified personal trainer at my local YMCA.

I never imagined that this journey would take me this far. It has become my life’s goal to help others rise beyond their circumstances and discover how true, real health can free them from their struggles.

Today, I am dedicated to empowering individuals to take charge of their well-being. Whether it’s through personalized fitness programs, wellness coaching, or simply being a source of motivation, I strive to make health and fitness accessible and achievable for everyone.
