My passion for health and fitness is fueled by grit, discipline, and resilience shaped through my experiences as a combat veteran and mental health expert. Fitness has been a critical tool in strengthening both my body and mind, helping me push past limits, manage stress, and stay grounded through life’s challenges. Training isn’t just physical for me — it’s mental, emotional, and deeply personal. I pursue health and fitness not only to better myself, but to inspire others to conquer their limit
What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?My favorite way to train is through explosive performance training and weightlifting. I love pushing power, speed, and strength; lifting heavy, moving with intention, and training in ways that challenge both my body and my mindset. Explosive training keeps me sharp, disciplined, and mentally engaged, while weightlifting builds the strength and resilience I carry into every part of life. It’s where I feel most powerful, focused, and alive.
What would you do with $20,000?I would donate the proceeds to the Wounded Warrior Project’s mental health services to support veterans struggling with invisible wounds. Mental resilience and access to care are deeply personal to me.
