Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

I want to be able to function and be at my best physically and mentally for my son. In a way I’m focusing on longevity I want to be able to keep up with him as he gets older. And on another side when I am older I want to be able to look back and be proud of the goals I was able to accomplish in getting my fitness journey and body to level that I want.

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

I train nearly every day. My rest days are just lighter days compared to the others. That’s the way I stay in rhythm. For me missing a day at the gym makes the day feel incomplete. Other ways I focus is on nutrition. Making sure my body gets the fuel it needs for the workouts and for recovery. I don’t go into depth on counting calories or measuring things to a “T” but I do try to watch what I eat the best I can. More Whole Foods then process foods and staying within a calorie deficit.

What would you do with $20,000?

Mainly payoff debt. Being the main provider in my house hold comes with its challenges. Which is a prime example of the gym/ fitness being my “escape “ from said challenges. Also it’ll help kick start a college fund for my son and set him up for a better future. And if there’s anything left maybe even start a little home gym and can have home workouts with my son.
