What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

My love for health and fitness comes from wanting to show up strong for my family and my future. I want to play with my future grandkids and show my boys that setting goals, and sticking to them matters, even when no one is watching. I train for my marriage, my faith, and myself. The gym is where I pray, think, reset, and quietly remind myself that private wins count too.

What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?

My favorite way to train is lifting heavy. I love Olympic lifting and building real muscle. I’m not chasing skinny, I’m chasing strength so that I can keep up with my boys and feel secure in my own body. The gym is where I feel strong, capable, and confident. I especially love the days I'm unable to get even one more rep and can barely walk to my car.

What would you do with $20,000?

I’d invest the $20,000 back into my consulting business and our family’s personal training studio...new equipment would be a dream! I’d also give generously to the causes and values that guide our family, and save for our future. Being considered alone is such an honor. I love competing not just to win, but to show up, grow, and challenge myself. That’s always the real prize. Thank you!
