I played all sports growing up and have always loved any kind of competition. It wasn't until I injured my thumb as a freshman in high school that I realized I had to outwork the competition, outside of our practices, if I wanted to be the best I could possibly be. I fell in love with the weight room and bettering myself in general, and the increase in confidence, self-esteem, strength, and speed I noticed made me want to share this passion with others (I knew from a young age I wanted to be a coach to help others become better versions of themselves). My hard work paid off as I was a runner-up in the state wrestling tournament, multiple time all-state selection (football), and even hit 3 home runs in one baseball game. I then went on to play college football at Wayne State College, where I was 2-time team captain, 2x All-Conference linebacker, and 1x All-Super Region linebacker.

Sports have always been a massive part of my life growing up. My turning point happened when I was a freshman in high school and tore the ligaments in my thumb, requiring surgery and sidelining me for wrestling season. I realized that if I wanted to continue having success in high school sports, then I'd have to work harder than the competition, especially since I was going to miss an entire wrestling season. Luckily, it was my thumb that I injured, so I could still do many exercises. I fell in love with the weight room and the physical progress it brought me. On top of this, I realized the immense power of the mind, and it taught me that I was capable of more than I could imagine, which came with massive confidence, self-esteem, and self-worth benefits!

I hope to inspire the younger generation to reach for the moon, set high goals, and do all in their power to get there. I want to be a positive role model to the youth, and to show them that in sport & in life you aren't always going to be perfect, but giving everything you have is the most important part. I strive to make everyone feel heard and cared for so that they can be their true, authentic selves.
