When I was 15, a friend dragged me to the gym. Little did I know, it wouldn’t just be about getting big. It was a game-changer! The gym became my escape, giving me structure, focus, and a fire I’d never felt before.

Life after high school, though, took me down a different road. I landed a tough job driving in the mines – long hours, early mornings, and always feeling worn down. But even with the dust and grind, that inner fire wouldn’t die. In fact, it got tougher, like desert weeds pushing through cracks in the pavement.

Coaching wasn’t just a career change; it was a promise. I wouldn’t be the dad who talked big about chasing dreams while staying stuck in his own rut. So, I traded steering wheels for coaching manuals, turning exhaustion into purpose.

This journey isn’t just about six-pack abs; it’s about building stronger lives. It’s about proving that even the bumpiest paths can lead to amazing views. It’s about sharing the sweat, the struggle, and the joy of chasing your own fire, the one that burns even when things get tough.

So let’s go! Let’s shift gears, unleash our grit, and write our own stories of transformation. This is my journey, but it can be yours too.
