Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

It all stems from my youth, I was that skinny kid who looked like he would fly away if the wind picked up enough. Fueled by the desire to never be that person again, I spent 3 years coaching crossfit and that is where I learned what it meant to have true physical freedom. Seeing how mobile people could stay into their 50’s, 60’s and even 70’s stuck with me and made me want to help others not just feel good but live good, in and out of the gym.

What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?

I personally love strength and physique training. This can be doing supersets, max loads, or even some low-stress, high-rep lifts to force a healthy pump. Building that mind-body connection more and more with each lift feels incredible. That moment when something finally ‘clicks’ making the mechanics of a lift flow smoother, is so rewarding. I also make sure to incorporate a healthy amount of stretching into my weekly program as well to ensure I reduce the risk of injury during my workouts.

What would you do with $20,000?

Easy. I would take a large portion and ask someone to help me responsibly invest it. With the remainder I would use a good chunk on the clothing brand I started for gym goers, Mythic Apparel. Any lasting funds I would use to pay off parts of my auto and student loans that I have. It would quite literally remove just about every ounce of financial stress I have and hopefully be the perfect springboard into building a truly wonderful life for myself and those I love.
