What fuels my passion for health and fitness is purpose. Today it’s a daily necessity, but five years ago it was a second chance at life. I spent much of my adult life struggling with alcohol and the damage that came with it. Fitness gave me a way back. It allows me to be a better man, fiancé, father, son, brother, and friend. It keeps me grounded, helps me handle life on life’s terms, and lets me stand proud of the man in the mirror.

My favorite way to train is old-school, all-out lifting inspired by Ronnie Coleman and Lee Priest—heavy weight, high intensity, and zero shortcuts. I love pushing limits, chasing the pump, and earning every rep. It’s about strength, grit, and discipline. No fancy trends, just hard work, progressive overload, and showing up ready to give everything I’ve got every single session.

Two years ago, I chose sobriety and began rebuilding a life damaged by my past. Since then, I’ve taken responsibility, repaired what I could, and focused on becoming the parent my children deserve. Winning $20,000 would help me secure a stable home so I can reunite my family and give my kids a safe, healthy future. This prize represents health, discipline, and a second chance—earned through consistency, accountability, and faith.
