My passion comes from my Army background and my journey of rebuilding myself. Fitness taught me discipline, consistency, and self-respect. It’s more than looking good, it’s about mental strength, confidence, and showing others that no matter where you start, you can build a stronger body and mind. I train not just for myself, but to inspire others to believe in their own potential.
What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?My favorite way to train is strength training with purpose. Pushing heavy weight while staying disciplined and consistent. I love combining weightlifting with functional training that keeps me strong for real life and work. Training isn’t just a workout for me; it’s therapy, stress relief, and a daily reminder to stay sharp, focused, and mentally strong.
What would you do with $20,000?I would invest it into my health, education, and building a platform to motivate others, especially veterans and people struggling to find direction. I’d upgrade my training, certifications, and create content to show that discipline and consistency can change your life. I want to use this opportunity to inspire people to become stronger, inside and out.
