Health and fitness have shaped my whole life. That drive pushed me to earn a doctorate - a constant pursuit to learn more about the human body. Even through homelessness, injuries, and a full patellar tendon rupture, training stayed a priority. I shared my post-surgery photo to show that commitment, and I came back in the best shape of my life. I take a holistic approach to health: training, sleep, nutrition, gut health, and circadian rhythm. I teach people how to improve their health this way.

Bodybuilding will always be the backbone of my training. Balancing bodybuilding with martial arts has its challenges, but provides a unique opportunity to learn and adapt my training. I lift 4 days a week, and train in judo, jiu jitsu, and sambo 3 days a week. Whenever I have the opportunity, I train twice per day (and would do more if I could). While it’s taken some time, I think I’ve now struck a great balance between my sports of choice now.

While the money certainly is a motive, it isn’t for me. I am recently engaged, and my goal is to give my future wife the opportunity to pursue her passions. She’s an aspiring model and contemplating medical school. This money would help me achieve that goal for her (and our wedding).
