I started my fitness journey back in high school when trying out for baseball and football, but realized I didn't have a passion for it. Later, I found that I enjoyed boxing and lifting weights.
My parents got me a heavy bag, a speed bag and some dumbbells so I could work on the sport at home. I also drew inspiration from my Uncle Ronnie and my brother Jay (who runs the athletic program for teens at Steel Fox) who taught me the fundamentals. When I started to notice my confidence level grow, I wanted to see if I could make a difference in the lives of others through fitness.
I love fitness because I believe that it is crucial to living a long and healthy life not only physically, but mentally. I like to push my body and test my limits; the discipline and other traits that come challenging myself in the gym led me to me well rounded in all areas of my life.
I believe that fitness should be enjoyable and fun and I like to help train others to this path. I want to bring good energy and motivation to people and inspire, the only limits are the ones you make and everyone is capable of being great.
