Bio

I grew up here in Safety Harbor and have lived most of my life in the area. Kellie and I have been married for close to five years, and we enjoy traveling, snow skiing, scuba diving, and all kinds of outdoor fun.

I’ve been an avid fitness and strength-training enthusiast for most of my life. I started weight training at a young age as a way to build muscle on my skinny frame and continued training throughout high school. Once I joined the Army, fitness became even more ingrained in my life through consistent training and plenty of good, hard P.T.

I enjoy pushing myself and seeing what I’m made of. Over the years, I’ve ridden dirt bikes, transitioned into endurance events, competed in sprint and Olympic-distance triathlons, half marathons, Tough Mudder races, and local 5K and 10K runs.

One day, my wife shared a video of a high-intensity functional training program that immediately caught my attention. Like many people, I was skeptical at first, especially because of old injuries and concerns about certain movements. I initially brushed it off. About a year later, I reconnected with a friend who was deeply involved in this style of training and helped clear up many of the common myths. My wife and I decided to give it a try—and we were hooked from day one.

We quickly realized we wanted to share this type of training with as many people as possible.

I truly enjoy training hard and helping others improve their lives. Watching people accomplish things they never thought possible is incredibly rewarding. I’ve learned that none of us truly knows what we’re capable of until we step outside our comfort zone and put ourselves to the test.
