My passion for health and fitness is fueled by service, resilience, and growth. After overcoming injury, trauma, and hardship, I’ve seen firsthand how strength, breathwork, movement, and community can rebuild lives. Helping veterans, first responders, and those in need reclaim their health and purpose drives me every day.
What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?My favorite way to train is a blended, Bruce-Lee-style approach; I take what works and discard what doesn’t. I compete in strongman, but I also train with maces, clubs, kettlebells, sleds, and other unconventional tools. I love surfing and stand-up paddleboarding for balance, conditioning, and time in nature. Mixing methods keeps me adaptable, athletic, and constantly learning.
What would you do with $20,000?I would invest the $20,000 directly into growing Operation Antifragile, my nonprofit that supports veterans and first responders. The funds would help expand our care packages, coaching and wellness programs, individual retreats, and recovery resources allowing us to reach more people in need and continue building strength, resilience, and community for those who have sacrificed so much.
