Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

My drive comes from my father’s legacy. In a world with limited opportunity, he chased his dreams in photography/videography, working with Hollywood producers & actors when others said he couldn’t. His belief in manifestation, discipline & spirituality shaped me. I channel that fire into health & fitness to honor him, push limits & become proof that belief plus work creates reality. He always pushed me to lead by example & become a positive influence for the present & future generation.

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

I split my training between my mini at home gym & walking a mile to my local gym for more intense sessions. I focus on HIIT style lifting with 2–3 minutes of rest, which has produced my best results over the years. I train in some form every single day, whether it’s lifting or some type of cardio like a simple walk/jog. Recovery is key, so I use steam sauna & ice plunges to shock the muscles and reset my body. I also practice intermittent fasting, which has supported my bodybuilding progress.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000 cash, I will immediately invest half & watch it grow over time. I will then share the earnings with family. To my mother for building the foundation of my work ethic, belief system & mindset. To my brother for always pushing me harder & bringing the competitor out of me. To my sister for taking me in during times when I needed it & always hyping me up to her facebook page. I’ll choose to give because I didn’t get in this position alone. I would then use the rest for my expenses.
