I’m an award-winning personal trainer, the author of three books, and the host of the Adversity Advantage Podcast. I'm on a crusade to inspire others to overcome adversity and become the best version of themselves. I’m a former convicted felon and drug addict who spent time in jail for “possession with intent to sell.” While locked in a cell, I kicked addiction, slayed my personal demons, and reinvented myself. I've in recovery since the day I was incarcerated in 2008.

Do the work to change your life.

It will be worth it in the end.

But, building that “adversity muscle” is the ultimate flex!

Go after what you want.

Believe in yourself and never settle for less than you deserve!
