About Me

How it Began

---

My fitness journey began at a young age. Growing up, I was very active and had a very athletic group of friends who had an enormous influence in how I chose to spend my time. This usually including outdoor sports and then gradually grew into weightlifting when I entered high school. Athough it was more of a hobby back in those days, it has since become an intense passion of mine. It has continued to grow since then, and I have devoted a great deal of my time to perfecting my workout routines, while also learning as much as I could from online resources, and in-person with other fitness professionals. Weightlifting, however, has kind of taken a back seat to my new growing passion: calisthenics. Because of this, my exercise style includes a combination of styles, focusing on body-weight training, but also incorporating heavy lifting to maintain muscle mass and build the best body possible.

Life Happens

After high school, I received an academic scholarship to attend the University of Miami. I thought I had everything figured out and that I would have a smooth road to success and happiness. Life had other plans for me. In my twenties, I started seeking help for my growing depression, which seemed to come about with no apparent cause. Although I noticed marginal improvements, I eventually turned to drugs to self-medicate which turned out to be the lynchpin in the next 10 or so tumoltuous years of my life. I dropped out of college, moved back in with my parents, and spent many years with no direction at all, ultimately ending up in prison for a crime related to my drug use. I have been very open with anyone I meet about my current situation (at the time of writing this I am in a half-way house looking foward to my release in the next 6 weeks), because it says a lot about my character and my ability to continue on despite life's challenges. I also mention this because, although the main goal of creating this website is to help anyone interested in fitness, I also want to inspire others to pursue self-improvement even if they are facing adversity. Change can and does happen when hard work is put in!

My goal is for this website to inspire other to pursue their fitness goals and achieve the ideal body.
