My Journey
I started working at a very young age, exploring countless industries: fast food, security, construction, IT, software programming, truck driving, and even running my computer repair shop in my basement. While I excelled in every role, one thing became crystal clear—I found true joy when I was connecting with and helping people.
People naturally sought my advice, valued my opinion, and trusted me to guide them. I soon realized my ability to build strong connections and inspire growth was a unique gift.
In my mid-20s, I transitioned into personal training and sports nutrition, integrating mindpower coaching techniques to stand out in a competitive industry. Since then, I’ve helped thousands of clients—from young athletes to high-performing professionals—achieve their goals.

But my journey hasn’t been without challenges.
One defining moment was my decision to become a professional bodybuilder. Inspired by Ronnie Coleman at 16, I made it a life goal to earn my IFBB pro card. But I quickly learned that bodybuilding, like life, has its share of ups and downs.
For over two decades, I trained tirelessly while juggling life’s responsibilities. There were times when setbacks, self-doubt, and the pressures of everyday life made me question if I should keep going. Toward the end of this journey, I even considered giving up on the dream entirely.
But something inside me refused to quit.
I realized that how you do one thing is how you do everything. If I quit on this goal, I would set a pattern for quitting on future dreams and challenges. I decided that wasn’t the person I wanted to be. So I pushed through, summoning the mental toughness and emotional resilience it takes to succeed in bodybuilding—and in life.
Eventually, I accomplished my goal and earned my pro card.
This journey taught me that success in any area is not just about physical or external effort. It’s about mastering your mindset, overcoming internal barriers, and building the resilience to keep going when it gets hard.

One of my favorite quotes by Steve Jobs says it best:
“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward.”
Everyone has a story, and my goal is to help you find the silver lining in yours, connect the dots, and become the hero of your journey.
