What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

My passion for health and fitness stems from pursuing holistic strength, mind, and performance. I train to be the ultimate DILF: not just looking good, but explosively strong, fast, and enduring for miles. As a military member, fitness keeps me mission-ready, builds mental resilience, and ensures balance amid demands. It’s about longevity, confidence, and leading by example for my family and team. True health is empowerment, not vanity.

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

My favorite way to stay fit is variety. Reading a muscle and fitness magazine when I was a kid I read how Arnold would preach about shocking the muscles. That’s always been a guiding principle for me. I mix heavy deadlifts for raw strength, long runs for endurance, intense METCONs for adaptability, and stress shooting for a functional edge. As a military guy, I love it all because it builds a body that’s strong, fast, resilient, and ready for anything. No routine, just constant progression.

What would you do with $20,000?

I’m currently buying a new house with my VA home loan, so I’d invest in building an epic home gym in my new house. Squat rack, Olympic platform, bench, kettlebells, rower, treadmill, and turf for functional training. My buddies could train too! No more gym commutes means more quality time with my family, plus consistent, high-intensity sessions to keep me strong, fast, and mission-ready. It’s the ultimate game-changer for lifelong health and performance!
