My passion for fitness was born when I realized I was closer to dying than living. Choosing sobriety wasn't just about quitting; it was about reclaiming my potential. My daughter is my mirror, and my son, who has cerebral palsy, is my purpose. I refuse to be a premature memory. I train to be there for every milestone they reach. This journey isn't just about being a better parent; it’s about transformation—becoming a man worthy of being looked up to and proving what is possible.

My favorite way to train is getting up at 5 AM to crush a 30–60 minute strength session before the sun rises. This isn’t just about lifting weights; it’s my "dungeon" where I relieve stress and start the day by keeping a promise to myself. I train 3–5 days a week and fill the gaps with active recovery. Whether it’s a walk with my dogs or a session on the spin bike, staying mobile is key. For me, fitness is a daily commitment to being the strongest version of myself for my family.

I am constantly striving to better myself, and that includes financial discipline. If I won, I would split the $20,000 to build a stronger foundation for my family. Half would go toward eliminating debt to increase our stability. The other half would go directly into my daughter’s 529 college fund. She aspires to become a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, and being able to fuel her dream of helping others would be the greatest reward. It’s about investing in the next generation.
