What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

My passion is fueled by 13 years of transformation. I spent the first decade bulking from a 145lb skinny kid to a 245lb powerhouse to build strength and confidence. However, the last four years shifted to mastery; I disciplined myself to shred 48lbs, hitting 197lbs recently. The gym is my mental sanctuary—it resets my focus and proves I can conquer any obstacle. I live and breathe this grind because the ambition I build in the gym is the same drive I use to succeed in every part of life.

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

I stay fit through a 6-day grind of high-intensity training. Every session starts with 30–45 mins on the Stairmaster to build endurance. I follow Hany Rambod’s FST-7 style, hitting 4–6 sets of heavy pyramid and drop sets, often supersetting groups like chest and tris. I never skip core; every workout ends with weighted incline sit-ups, kettlebell crunches, and captain’s chair leg raises. Combining pro-level volume with daily discipline is how I stay lean, jacked, and healthy.

What would you do with $20,000?

Winning would allow me to secure my future by paying off my car loan and credit card debt. I also plan to invest in a hair procedure to boost my confidence as I represent the brand. Family is my backbone, so I’ll share a portion with those who have supported me mentally and financially throughout my life. To celebrate, I’m heading to Miami and Fort Lauderdale with friends, including a close friend from England, to enjoy an incredible summer on the beach and finally live life to the fullest.
