About

I grew up in poverty, watching my father climb from a struggling paper mill worker to a Fortune 500 executive while my mother fought yet ultimately lost her own battles that collapsed our family. By my junior year, I had dropped out of high school, chasing distractions and searching for purpose in life that I never found. At 20, I made a choice to rewrite the ending of my story. I earned my high school diploma and enlisted in the U.S. Army as an E1 Private, quickly rising to Staff Sergeant, leading combat intelligence operations for Special Operations, and deploying to West Africa and Afghanistan. I became a 3x Army Best Warrior Competition Winner, 2x Special Forces Commando Competition Winner, and ranked #18 globally as a U.S. Army Recruiter, completing Airborne, Air Assault, SERE (SV83), and SEMA. A decade into my career, I was medically retired after a series of catastrophic medical collapses, leaving me unable to drive or leave my house for four years without risking unexplained anaphylaxis, seizures, and organ failure. Doctors told me to accept this new reality, but I refused. I fired them to build my own private medical team and became a certified master fitness instructor as a way to regain control over my life. This gave me enough stability to get back on my feet and launch a now 7-figure, elite training facility. I am now expanding my portfolio and influence while finishing a B.A.S. in Cyber Engineering - Information Warfare at the University of Arizona. Moving forward, my mission is to help disabled veterans and injured athletes regain their sense of purpose by overcoming the limitations placed on them. The communities we impact, businesses we build/buy, and lives we change have become the focus of everything we do.
