How I Got Started
Growing up playing football, I was always competitive. I loved to stay in shape, but after I got injured playing college football it all changed. Once I finished college, I made the choice to join the Navy.
Being in the Military full time is a very stressful job. I am originally from New Orleans, LA, so once Hurricane Katrina hit my hometown it just added more stress. I began living an unhealthy life and eventually got up to 270 lbs. I was in jeopardy of getting kicked out of the Military because we have to maintain a level of physical fitness.

That was over 2 years ago. Since then, I've taken charge of my life and learned how to live healthier. Now I'm a personal trainer, dietitian and nutritionist. I started off being a powerlifter and one day, a good friend asked me to train him ready for a contest. I've been training ever since.

And Learned How To live Healthier.
Civilian Life To Military Life
What Is The Hardest Part?
The toughest part is being able to take orders and stay focused all the time. It is also difficult to be able to change all the time, because the Military changes every day and you have to be ready for it.
The Biggest Obstacle Of A Military Lifestyle
It's really not that hard. The only thing you need to do every single day is these two things:
- Be on time
- Do what you are told to do
If you can do those things in this Military, you'll be just fine.
