Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

My passion comes from lived experience. I went from an elite hockey high school and college football player and track sprinter to later gaining weight as mid-age adult becoming pre-diabetic. I realized health isn’t optional—it’s foundational. Fitness gave me my energy, clarity, and purpose back. Now I coach others—parents, professionals, and athletes—to build sustainable habits, mental toughness, and confidence. Helping people reclaim their health & believe in themselves is what drives me.

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

I believe in disciplined, functional training—strength, bodyweight movements, conditioning, and daily consistency. I train with purpose, not ego. My workouts are efficient, athletic, and sustainable, blending strength, mobility, and mental grit. Whether it’s a focused 30-minute session or training young athletes, I’m about building bodies that perform well for life.

What would you do with $20,000?

I’d reinvest it into expanding access to fitness—youth training programs, affordable coaching resources, and educational tools that combine physical and mental health. My mission is to help families and athletes build confidence, discipline, and lifelong wellness. This would allow me to scale that impact and reach more people who need guidance and belief.
