My passion for health and fitness is fueled by discipline, purpose, and longevity. Wrestling taught me early that consistency builds character, and I’ve carried that mindset into every stage of life. Training keeps me grounded, sharp, and accountable, not just physically, but mentally. Fitness isn’t just something I do; it’s how I show up as my best self every day.

My favorite way to train is keeping it simple and functional, heavy benching (recent 405 max), push-ups, pull-ups, and running outdoors, especially on hikes. I love training in ways that translate beyond the gym, and I stay motivated by tying fitness to purpose. I also volunteer and run in breast cancer awareness races and other charity events, which keeps training meaningful, not just physical.

I would invest the $20,000 into building a long-term fitness career. That means launching a full online training program, funding the startup of a one-on-one personal training gym, and going back to school to earn advanced personal training and coaching certifications. I see fitness as both a business and a responsibility, and I’d use the money to build something sustainable that helps people improve their health for life.
