My passion for changing lives through fitness comes from my personal journey to find happiness. Growing up an overweight gay black boy in Baltimore City wasn’t easy. I battled body dysmorphia and overall not liking who I was. This was my individual burden for over half of my life. The catalyst to changing my life was the sudden passing away of my mother at a young age from heart disease.
At this point, it hit me that life is short and that I am the only one in control of my health and happiness. My experience overcoming my own weight loss struggles gives me a different perspective when motivating my clients. I don’t see followers, I see the old me.
