Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

My passion for health and fitness is fueled by my desire to be a better person. I want to show up for the people I care about. In order to be my best self, I must push weight away from me and pull it towards me. I believe strength of mind is just as important as physical strength; the two are synergistically connected. One cannot have one without the other. NYE 2025 I spent alone. I decided that in order to get my mind right, the gym was a necessity. Fitness is a non-negotiable for me.

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

I like to maximize my time In the gym by super-setting and circuiting to failure with one minute rest between sets. One of my favorite (and least favorite) circuits is pull-ups, dips, leg raises. At the start of 2025 I could only do one unassisted pull-up. Now I can hit 17 pull-ups on my first set, and have recently hit a PR of 75 pull-ups in 8 sets. My new goal is 20 on that first set, and I hope to hit that ASAP! I follow my workouts with a 20 minute sauna session/end of lift sweat-ceremony.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would use this money to get myself back to 0 on credit card debt, pay my mortgage, and buy a bunch of high protein meats to stock my freezer with such as beef, venison, salmon etc. I would also go sky-diving in either Santa Cruz or South Lake Tahoe.
