I've been working out half-heartedly since high school, playing sports and trying to stay in shape...But it wasn't until my last deployment to Afghanistan that I truly began to focus on living fit and healthy. I realized that I had much more potential and it was time to go after it.

It helps me to grow...physically and mentally. It continues to challenge me and force me to rise to the occasion. I am never satisfied and someone who refuses to quit. It has helped me to develop a competition with myself and a drive that keeps my motor running in all facets of my life. I live and love to grow and help others grow around me.
