2002
My journey with health began long before I understood what health was. At 2 years old, my father would be at home working out. Noticing this, I eagerly ran around lifting various objects, wanting him to watch me. All through early childhood my father had a quote I will never forget ” Do you want to Roll or Run to first base”.

2013–2014
By the age of 13–14, I became determined to be healthy and aesthetic thanks to Zyzz. That led me to calisthenics and following the THM diet, eventually eliminating all added sugars completely! I was hooked — achieving PRs and maintaining a lean physique.

2015
Someone dropped out of a half marathon and asked if I wanted to take their place. I took them up on it and knocked out my first half marathon with an 8:11 min/mile pace.

2016
At 16, I started going to the gym religiously, driven to outwork everyone — dedicating my life to researching how to get stronger, faster, and leaner.

2018
Start of senior year: tested my PRs — 305 bench, 405 squat, 455 deadlift, 265 power clean. Height: 5’11”, BW: 176. Baseball stats: 100 MPH exit velo, 88.6 MPH throw, 6.91 60-yard dash.

2019
After high school, I played a half year of JUCO baseball before COVID shut it down. (JUCO = Wild West of sports. JUCO no drug-tests, the coaches nudge the players to get on steroids, We had a guy reppin 420 on Benchpress). P.S. If you’re worried about college being hard — it’s not. I had straight A’s (except for one C) no studying needed. Just common sense.

2020
COVID hit. I lost gym access, strength, and weight. Then I heard about #5kMay2020 by Jeff Polen. You run a 5K every day in May with a “May-hem” 12x 5Ks on the final weekend. I wasn’t a runner. I did it with old Adidas gym shoes hated it, but fell in love with the mental war.

2021
Back to the gym. New PRs: 315 bench, 435 squat, 465 deadlift, 265 power clean. BW: 174.

2022
Got blood work done. Changed my diet: no gluten, dairy, added sugar, or processed foods and if I have a drink (rare occasion), it’s 4x distilled vodka with sugar free Redbull. Now I eat organic, single-ingredient foods and grass-fed ruminants (e.g., beef, bison, asparagus, blueberries).

2023
Needed a new stressor, so I started training MMA at Champions MMA. Took first place in Barbell Performance’s yearly “Gains-Giving” (Nov ’23).

2024
Got ringworm from MMA and couldn’t train, so I pivoted, trained for a 100-mile ultramarathon. Signed up, trained for 10 weeks, and finished 26 hours later, on a fractured foot and shin was well worth it for First Place!! Competed in “My First Million 100x100x100” Online Challenge. Also trained with Vivek Ramaswamy.

2025 – Hit new PRs 340lbs Bench 440lbs Squat Figured why not take a shot at some line dancing classes lol. This year’s Goal at the “Amish Country 1/2″was have fun! Played Rock Paper Scissors with spectators, when kids beside the road rang their bell, I would thank them for the energy and kick up my pace to a 6min/mile or doing a cartwheel or act like I was rowing a boat. I had a good time interacting and yapping at spectators. Still finished with a decent time of 9:11min/mile. By far the most enjoyable race I ever did!! Some friends invited me to Join them at the Columbus 1/2 this was their first half, so I went with and paced for them ended with a 2h:33min time. Next up Fuzzy 50k Ultra-Run was my first trail run and again got looped in by some friends. Completed it in 7h:34min, will say I wish I would’ve trained for it but I was more focused on gym PRs day before New Year’s Eve hit new squat pr of 405×7.

2026 – Goals: Bench 365lbs / Squat 500lbs / Complete 2 Directory Websites /Cleveland 1/2 Marathon May 16th
