| I began my journey into the martial art and fitness world as a 12 yr old, overweight kid, that needed an escape from a tough childhood. This escape, quickly became my life's passion. Everyday for 5 years, I came home from school, did my homework, went to my karate school and stayed until it closed. I quickly gathered a small following of friends and fellow students which I began assisting and training. I rose through the karate belt ranks and became an assistant instructor as a green and brown belt. I taught children and adult, group and semi-private, karate and fitness classes in addition to my own training. At the age of 17, I graduated high school and joined the U.S. Army. I became an Infantry soldier and began the long journey of military life that spanned over 20 years and included combat tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. Throughout the years, I trained hundreds of soldiers, in fitness and martial arts. When I was about to retire, I decided to do what I love and I became a certified personal trainer and sports nutritionist. Due to injuries sustained while on active duty, I couldn't run anymore, could barely walk upstairs and I couldn't squat or bend my knees and my back was shot. 20 years of physical therapy and chiropractor visits did little to help. Through following my own nutrition, strength and conditioning program that I developed over the years, I am now able to sprint, run stairs, jump, squat, deadlift and lunge with fairly heavy weight. I have proven that my own methods work by using it on myself. I believe in the "been there, done that" concept. My experience equals your success. Enroll Now! |
