Dr. Colin Smith DC

As a life long athlete, competing at the highest levels of collegiate rugby in the country, I've been in the gym a majority of my life starting at the age of 11. Now I am undertaking a Journey. When I played rugby, I was 5'7" and 230 pounds. I had decent performance in the gym at the time, but struggled to breath while tying my shoes or walking up more than 5 steps. 5 years later, with immense support from loved ones, I'm now a purple belt in BJJ. In the best shape I've EVER been!

I have a passion for Brazilian jiu-jitsu ( for HITT / cardio). I teach and train 3 times a week for the group of fathers and athletes who want to brave the mats at 6AM. Check us out on IG @THEHOARDBJJ to get a glimpse into our comradery. I also enjoy weightlifting 3 days a week to keep my body ready for the demands of jiu-jitsu. I include a combination of machines and free weights, mixing compound movements with explosive work, and I focus on improving strength through a full range of motion.

With $20,000, I would continue my work to help the metro Detroit area receive the medical attention it needs without gouging the patients more. We hear too often about Medical procedures being pushed off because patients can't afford the care. This $20,000 would support our efforts to provide pro bono services to veterans, teachers, and first responders. We are a small medical office dedicated to making a lasting difference in our community. 1% at a time.
