STORY

I am a firefighter, and my job demands that I stay ready physically, mentally, and emotionally.

But my path to becoming the strongest version of myself has been shaped by setbacks as much as successes.

I have been training for over twenty years. I grew up playing competitive basketball and soccer, and for a long time I believed intensity was the answer to everything. I pushed hard, trained hard, and assumed that more effort always meant better results.

But eventually, my body pushed back.

I dealt with back pain, tight hips, constant stiffness, and burnout.

Then I developed gout.

And later, I tore my Achilles tendon, an injury that forced me to confront the reality that my old approach to training could not carry me forward.

Those moments demanded a different kind of strength.

Rebuilding my body changed everything.

I learned how human movement actually works.

I learned mobility, stability, and how to train for longevity, not just performance.

I discovered how nutrition affects inflammation, energy, and pain, and how small changes can transform how you feel.

I studied nervous system regulation and mindset so I could train smarter, recover better, and stay grounded in the process.

Fitness, nutrition, and mindset stopped being separate ideas.

They became the foundation of how I live and how I stay ready for the moments that matter

These shifts transformed not only how I train, but how I show up in my work, my relationships, and my life.

Now I teach everyday people the same tools that helped me overcome injury, reduce inflammation, and rebuild real strength, so they can be ready for their own call of duty, whatever life asks of them.
