My exposure to the fitness lifestyle started in school. Throughout high school I was in many sports; ranging from fencing, swimming, wrestling, and waterpolo. 

Since moving to Kansas City from Chicago, to attended the art institute, I found it harder to be apart of team sports and began focusing more on conditioning. I did more high repetition training and took nutrition more seriously. I saw changes happening physically and mentally that improved my life. It lead me to take the next step in finding a gym that wanted to cultivate my love for weight lifting. 

Now as apart of the Bodyfit community, I have grown in my lifting from training for aesthetics to training for strength. I gained a lot of confidence in my abilities to pick up heavy objects and have competed in strong man competitions. Through my fitness journey, I hope to inspire others to be as passionate about lifting or improving their life with physical activity as a coach
