My Story
I wasn’t always “in shape” or “lean and thin”. In fact, (believe it or not) I have ballooned up in weight many times in my life!
When I was a kid, I had two jumbo muffins every morning for breakfast!
Not to mention, fast food most of the week for dinner. I was lucky I wasn't 300 pounds! Although, I was a chubby kid at some points.

I’m not a person who has great genetics like many of the fitness gurus out there. I am someone who has really had to dig deep for the knowledge to transform my body.
There is just so much conflicting information out there that it makes it difficult to come to an accurate conclusion.
That’s why I have been the guinea pig for almost everything I teach and have taught my clients in the past! The techniques I teach work, period. You will see how I put them to work in my past journey.
COLLEGE
In college, I managed to put on significant weight on multiple occasions. I was focusing on "bulking" and of course, going out every weekend, without any regard for proper nutrition.
. I put on 15 pounds one semester and lost it during the summer with basic cardiovascular and weight training.
I accumulated another 25 pounds the following semester and lost it using the HIIT training along with lowering the sugar in my diet.

AFTER COLLEGE
Throughout my post college life, I spent most of my personal fitness time "bulking". The problem is that, early on, I took bulking to mean eating loads of junk food while lifting weights a few days a week.
I was also on steroids which was BY FAR the biggest mistake of my life so don’t do it! I did it simply because I wanted to be a Pro Wrestler and that's what I thought I had to do to be one at the time!
I have since suffered from severe hormone deficiencies, erectile dysfunction, and more when I could’ve just fixed my nutrition at the time and gained just as much muscle!
We learn, we grow, and we learn from our mistakes.
I’m blatantly honest about mine because I don’t want some other young dude out there to make the same mistake! I talk more about this story in this video: https://youtu.be/sM2huVfANDw
So essentially, I was on steroids for part of this weight gain and ate like sh*t because I thought I could therefore, I also put on loads of excess fat. In addition, I was very unhealthy and felt like fainting every time I performed a squat!

I continued eating absurdly even after I got off the steroids mainly because of habit but also sugar and processed food addiction.
I went on to be the heaviest weight of my life at 235. (which is my before photo)

MY DECISION TO MAKE A CHANGE
When my boss fortuitously took me aside and told me I could stand to lose a few pounds, I had my first wake up call.
I had a trip to Mexico in 4 months and was more motivated than ever to lose this extra weight! Thus came the next learning experience.
I worked my butt off and lost 50 pounds within 3 months by being extremely consistent and persistent with both my exercise and my dieting strategies
. During the time period where I was losing weight, I also helped my landlord lose 45 pounds with the same methods!
I worked out my 235 pound frame in the gym 5-6 days a week and kept my nutrition tight. By the time I went to Mexico, I was in pretty solid shape!

Since then I have maintained my shape and even added a few pounds of muscle while remaining lean.
I’m also able to indulge in some of my favorite “unhealthy” foods here and there while still maintaining weight!
If you want to change your lifestyle and maintain a healthy body, you need to avoid dieting and make permanent changes. (which is what i did during this period)
This doesn’t mean you completely give up everything you love. It simply means that you change some habits within your lifestyle and replace them with better ones.
MY FIRST DREAM - DETERRED
After I lost my weight and worked hard even more afterwards, I was able to reach my goal physique and step into the professional wrestling ring for a couple matches!

I decided to discontinue pro wrestling afterwards mainly because of the politics and my lackluster trainer at the time.
However, I also had way too many other goals! knew I was meant for more than just pro wrestling.
MY DESIRE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS WORLD
I knew in my heart that I was meant to help people and change the lives of hundreds to thousands of people on this planet. Pro wrestling was part of my journey, but not the end point.
We all live and learn from every life experience we have (if we choose to)
This is what helps give us the skills to accomplish our mission and succeed for whatever we are meant to be in life.
Helping People will continue to be my goal for as long as I live.
I will help lead the way in this New Age Of Holistic Health!
Everything happens for a reason. : )
Whether it be through videos, podcasts, blogs or my transformation program,
I hope I can Help You Too.
Thank You For Reading : )
