My passion for health and fitness dates back to high school when I graduated and began my pursuit of a degree in Health & Physical Education. Over the last nearly two decades I have coached numerous youth sports programs from recreational level and elite travel programs across the Southeast US area. As someone who personally struggled with weight related health issues I have now found a lifestyle of healthy eating and exercise that I want to share with others. My journey led me to a obesity level that many do not experience of over 405 pounds with daily back, knee and ankle pain. This unhealthy lifestyle led to a total of six surgeries over the course of 2023 & 2024 but that journey has taught me valuable lessons that I want to pass along to others. I want to lead by example to the youth generation to ensure they never get to the point that I was and I want to be a resource and lend assistance to those who have the same obesity issues I have personally experienced. I am a firm believer that getting started is the hardest part of any journey and sometimes having someone who truly knows personally what you are going through will help get you started. Someone once told me, "it's never too late to get started" and those simple words moved mountains for me and can do the same for you!
