Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

I refuse to accept the 'dad bod' stereotype. At 41, my passion is fueled by the desire to prove that your prime isn't behind you—it's something you build. I am training to win an Open Bodybuilding Title against men half my age. I want to show my kids and men everywhere that with discipline, heavy iron, and a scientific approach, you can build your masterpiece at any age. It’s about longevity, mental toughness, and refusing to settle for average.

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

I am an old-school bodybuilder with a modern, data-driven mindset. I train in my home gym using a high-volume 'Push-Pull-Legs' split. No CrossFit or gimmicks—just heavy compound movements like Squats and Rows focusing on progressive overload. I treat my training like a science experiment: logging every rep, weighing every meal, and aiming to beat my previous best every single session. My favorite way to train is simply: heavy, hard, and consistent.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would invest 100% of it into my '2026 Championship' goal. First, I’d upgrade my home gym with professional-grade equipment (like a belt squat and calibrated plates) to take my training to the next level. Second, I’d fund my competition season—coaching, travel, and entry fees—to ensure I bring my best package to the stage. Finally, I’d treat my family to a vacation to thank them for supporting the sacrifices required to chase this dream.
