1. My wife. Both because and for her. She’s my biggest cheerleader and I want to live long and old working out together. 2. My faith. I want to be as healthy as I can to better equip myself in that area of life. Through discipline. Humility. And grace. 3. Life. There is so much beauty in this life. Being fit and healthy helps me to enjoy more of it. 4. People. I want others to experience the joys of fitness. When people get excited about fitness it pumps me up to do my absolute best.

For years it has been calisthenics. Weighted is my favorite. A good pull-up will never steer you wrong. I like to strength train as well. You know squats, bench, deadlifts. All the good stuff. I really like a good compound lift. My favorite lift currently is a supine press. You get such a good squeeze in the chest. Also some recreational ways are surfing, skateboarding, and the occasional pickleball. Is long walks on the beach to tacky?

That’s both easy and tough. Two for certain. I’ve wanted to do something with fitness for years. So I just started going to school and am getting my PT certificate. I’m so excited to be able to help those who want to be a better and healthier version of themselves. The prize money would help me pay for schooling. My wife is also about to have our first baby and this prize would be a HUGE financial blessing for birthing costs and things. Who knows. Maybe if I win I’ll name them Mr.health???
