When I initially enlisted in the Air Force I wanted to become a physician, because I always wanted to help people, but after finishing schooling to become an EMT I quickly realized that I still wanted to help people, but in the gym with their health and fitness instead. Every time a newer individual has come to me in the gym for advice, or help, I can feel in my heart that I’m on the right path and that’s why I am currently working on my NASM pt certification.

Iso muscle groups, minimal rest periods, drop sets, high volume, stairs/bike. I am obsessed with heavy hoodie and sweatpant workouts. I love the feeling of knowing it’s you vs you. The idea of striving to be the best when I’m in the gym truly drives me. I love making myself uncomfortable. I used to despise morning workouts until I decided to give a 4:30am session a try the end of Nov and have not looked back. It’s genuinely difficult for me to take rest days because I love being in the gym.

My best friend and I are starting a clothing brand named Self Controlled Self Destruction dedicated to gym, or street wear. The brand was born from the fact that everyone goes through difficult times in life, but never just once. War after war is what we live by and being able to embrace discipline and elevate the destruction of your previous self for who you want to become is a pillar of SCSD. We want to build a community so people never have to feel alone in their war.
