I started my coaching journey around 6 years ago. I first developed a passion for nutrition through my own struggles with body dysmorphia, eating disorders, and overall lack of passion for life. A turning point occurred in 2017 and I decided to take control of my body and mind. I lost over 50lbs through nutrition alone, and in that process I gained the confidence and desire to help others. I started showing family and friends what I did to lose the weight, and actually found that I had a gift in “coaching”. Then came the training. I have an athletic background but the working out part never interested me. I would have weeks (mostly days) where I would be interested in going to the gym, and it would inevitably fade away and I would revert back to what was comfortable.

Once I lost weight in 2017 and saw the changes happening to my body and mind, I got back in the gym and haven’t looked back. I spent hundreds of hours researching nutrition and training techniques (and the science behind it) in the first 2 years. There was a lot to learn and there were ups and downs, but the process of doing that changed my life. I learned to love the process! I continue to spend countless hours learning more about biomechanics, muscle physiology, and nutrition… and I have the opportunity to use the scientific research and apply it to my clients to pair it with anecdotal evidence for confirmation. It’s an amazing process.

With all of that being said, I am also a husband and father. I am a spiritual mentor, I coached high school football for 7 years, I’m a college graduate, business owner, and the founder of @musclerecruitment. I have a deep passion for growing as a person, and helping others. My entire life centers around it.
