“MY BODY IS NOT A WORK OF ART. MY BODY REFLECTS THE ART OF HARD WORK.”
My story before finding building is one of low confidence, little to no friends, and even less self worth. The one thing I will say positively about myself is I always strived to be the best at everything I did. Whether it be online games like Runescape or Black Ops, or even when I was skiing as a kid, I was obsessed with being the best.
But none of it was productive, Runescape wasn’t going to pay my bills, and I didn’t even realize how bad it was impacting me socially. I always knew I wanted more friends, maybe a girl to be interested in me, but I didn’t realize that one change could lead to many, and that it could lead me to everything I wanted.
Then I found fitness. I originally started because I was just tired of people telling me that I was skinny, or the word I hated most, “lanky.” I weighed 145lbs at 6’2”, so what else could you call it.
I started by going once a week, worked only chest, and went home.
Every. Week.
Repeated for a couple months, and started to see results. Later, it came as a shock to me that there are other muscles I could work other than chest. So I started expanding out. I kept learning and growing (both physically ad mentally). My obsessive personality carried over. I wanted to be the best. It took time, and is still an ongoing process, but I wanted to learn everything and apply it to be great at this new love of mine.
As I saw progress I also saw my life come together. My acne went away (I had tried EVERYTHING), turns out, a bodybuilding diet was the answer. People talked to me, I made friends, slowly became less awkward, and then even girls started paying attention.
It’s crazy how one change can lead to so much, and I could still say a lot more, but I wat to keep this at least relatively short. One thing I can honestly say is; bodybuilding saved my life.
Years later, I can say I’ve learned more than I could have ever known there was to learn, I’ve stacked years on top of years of experience, I’ve competed in 7 shows now, winning every single one, including USAs to earn my IFBB Pro Card. I’ve coached hundreds if not thousands of clients over the years and I’ve earned a Masters Degree in the field I found to be the most relevant to this sport.
I currently work with a number of bodybuilders, as well as high-level athletes in sports such as MMA, Boxing, and I have athletes in all of the “Big Four” professional.
Without arrogance, I can honestly say I am one of the very best at what I do.
This website is a passion project of mine, this site isn’t meant to rake in cash by any means, it is meant as a place for others to find the resources they need to achieve their dreams and their goals.
All of my programs, diets, and e-books are created with my full scope of knowledge and experience. This website is dedicated to always having the best, so if it’s on the site, I truly believe there is nothing better out there.
