I've been around the gym my entire life. Strength isn't a phase for me and it's never been limited to just one lane. Powerlifting is a huge part of who l am, but I'm also a thrower, I've competed in bodybuilding, and I work with athletes and everyday people across many areas of strength and conditioning.
I'm blessed to do what I do everyday!!
What matters most to me is giving back.
Working with people from different backgrounds and sports, helping them move better, get stronger, and live healthier lives is what drives me. Strength looks different for everyone, but it changes lives all the same. Being part of that process no matter the sport or goal is something I'll always be grateful for. •
