THE
INNOVATOR
Well, this is me, and hold on tight because it's going to be one hell of a ride.
​
I was born and raised in Toledo, Ohio on November 3rd. I graduated from Whitmer High in 2006 (Go Panthers), after graduation I joined the Marine Corps and served until June 2019. While serving our great country I learned and enhanced a lot of skills and core values like Discipline and Leadership, Sense being out I took a position as a Warehouse Supervisor where I can continue to grow as a leader and mentor.
My bodybuilding career started in 2017-2018 and my first show was The Muscle Heat in Greensboro, NC. I did good and fell in love with the process, with the struggle of the lifestyle. Over the next 2 years, I did one show a year until November 2020 when I competed at my first National show NPC National Championships in Orlando, FL. It was an amazing and humbling experience, to say the least, I learned a lot about myself and how much work I needed to put in to be competitive at that level. In August 2021 I completed in Washington D.C at the Capital Grand Prix, where I finished 1st in Welterweight and 1st in Armed Forces Division. As I continue my bodybuilding career my goals are to continue to inspire and motivate anyone I can come in contact with, and show up with a professional Physique every time I step on the stage.
