A seed was planted during my sophomore year of high school when I was exercising for PE. Unfortunately, it was only for a semester. Fast forward to late 2020, when I started working with a personal trainer. Starting with simple exercises and light weights or bands. After three years of building my strength and conditioning, I decided to find something to put that newfound strength into. I remembered a childhood dream of mine of wrestling, and with the heavy influence of the UFC. The day before my 25th birthday, I embarked on my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu journey.

Looking back on then and now, leg pressing 305lbs, 135lb deadlift, and lifting a 50lb sandbag, competing in three BJJ tournaments, and aspirations to break records. I am beyond grateful for the skills, knowledge, opportunities, friendships, and everything in between that the physical industry has given me. It has become time to give back to the Industry and help my communities accomplish their goals. To achieve this, I have partnered with 1st Phorm, a Missouri-based company, to support individuals on their own personal fitness journey.

Why 1st Phorm? One of the foundation pillars of myself and at 1st Phorm is to lead by example. The realization that it is up to you to never settle, to never quit. Reinstalling what it means to be a hardworking American. 1st Phorm, created by Americans, supported by Americans, but made for the world.
