My Story

From Rock Bottom
To Transformation

I didn't start in the fitness industry.
I started at rock bottom.

In 2004, I was over 320 pounds, drinking heavily, using drugs, and using food the same way I used everything else—to escape. Sobriety changed my life, but it also forced me to look in the mirror and confront something deeper: I had cleaned up the inside, but I was still hiding in my body.

That's when the real transformation began.

Over the next 14 months, I lost over 125 pounds. I rebuilt my body the hard way—through discipline, education, relentless training, and a refusal to go back to who I used to be. What started as weight loss evolved into a passion for physique development, metabolic science, and performance optimization.

Today, I compete in bodybuilding, coach high-performing men and women, and help clients transform not just their physiques—but their identity.
