I've been involved with fitness all my life, whether it was playing sports growing up or just being active during my everyday life. I started taking my fitness and health seriously after a major knee injury during my junior season of college while playing football.

Since then, I've called that experience a blessing in disguise as its led to my devotion of health and keeping myself in the best shape possible. The motivation to recover from surgery and come out of it better then I went in kept me focused everyday.

One of the greatest parts about working out and staying in shape is the ability to inspire others to do the same. I take a lot of pride in how hard I work in the gym and it translates in to my everyday life. Helping out friends and family members really motivates me to make a difference in someones life.
