Philosophy:

Being In a military family, I moved around a lot. Sports was always the thing I could rely on when it came to being in a new school with new kids; & I tried every sport I could. I played football & basketball through HS & college, continuing to play basketball after I graduated. Eventually though, it caught up with me & led to two torn ACLs, & an Achillis rupture. As part of my recovery I realized I needed more than basketball, so I focused on weight training & fell in love with it!

Going to the gym was an escape from the grind of office life. Unfortunately, complacency sank in over the years; sitting most of the day, hoping one of our vendors would bring us pizza for lunch. I found myself lacking the motivation & confidence to go to the gym; it felt devastating. With my pants too tight, my empty taco bell bag sitting next to me, & dried cheese in my overgrown beard I realized something needed to change. Taking the first step has always been the hardest for me, but I started going back to the gym. One day turned into two times a week, turned to three times; always wanting to push it farther. My life changed.

The sense of accomplishment & confidence that comes with exercise has a trickle-down effect on every aspect of our lives. We become better fathers, mothers, spouses, sons, daughters. I believe that everyone has the ability to change, & one of the biggest obstacles is getting started. Force yourself to take the first step! Continue on that path and you will achieve goals you never thought possible.

It’s up to you
