Fitness and nutrition became a part of my life when I was 12 years old. As I look back now, I remember being amazed by the impressive physiques of world-renowned athletes who graced the covers of top fitness magazines and dreaming of one day achieving a top-pro physique just like theirs.

​

As we know, some people are blessed with great genetics, while others are fortunate to come from athletic backgrounds. Unfortunately, I had neither. At the age of 10, I was extremely overweight with very little athleticism, no motivation to exercise, and giving in to uncontrollable eating.

​

Life was miserable, lonely, and depressing. Until one day, my family interceded and began talking to me about making a change. They started talking to me about making healthier food choices and helped me identify differences between true hunger pains and psychological/emotional triggers that led to overeating. 

 

I started my journey by taking things slowly, tracking food, and using basic portion control methods. Through this process, I learned about healthy foods and the importance of moderation when it comes to less healthy options. As a result of my efforts, I began to notice a drop in weight, an increase in energy levels, and an overall improvement in my well-being.

​

This, by far, was the turning point in my life that made me fall in love with healthy eating, daily exercise, and is how I live my life to this day.

​

It was through this journey that I was introduced to the sport of bodybuilding, and is where I experienced firsthand the hard work and self-discipline of weight training and nutrition. 

 

As someone who has a passion for fitness and nutrition, I would be honored to support you on your journey and use my experience and knowledge to help you achieve your goals. Together, we can work towards a healthier and happier you.
