Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

My kids are my biggest why. I want them to grow up seeing what consistency, discipline, and resilience actually look like, not just hearing about it. Training isn’t just about how I look; it’s about showing them how to face hard things head-on and keep going when it would be easier to quit. Spartan races became an extension of that mindset. They represent grit, accountability, and finishing what you start, no shortcuts, no excuses.

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

Early mornings, 4:00 a.m. in the gym. That quiet time before the world wakes up is where I lock in mentally and physically. I train using the Spartan app because it pushes functional strength, endurance, and mental toughness, not just aesthetics. I also run with a local run club every Sunday, which has become one of my favorite parts of the week. It keeps fitness fun, builds community, and reminds me that health isn’t just a solo grind; it’s something that connects us.

What would you do with $20,000?

I’d use it to create memories and reinforce the values I’m building my life around. A big part of it would go toward taking my family on a meaningful trip, time together, unplugged, active, and present. Fitness has taught me that health isn’t just about training hard, it’s about being able to show up fully for the people you love and create experiences that last longer than any race or title. I’d also use part of the money to fund a few Spartan events for myself and my family.
