I spent years as a package car driver for UPS, a job demanding heavy physical exertion, until I suffered three bulged discs in my back. I used to believe that staying active was all I needed until my body began to deteriorate. Then came my shoulders, sending me back to the physiotherapist’s office. Through rehabilitation and intense conditioning, I came to the realization that, despite the care from doctors and physical therapists, I needed to take charge of my own well-being.

Fast forward 16 years, during which I acquired seven certifications and pursued a degree in Exercise Science. I eventually became UPS’s Wellness Champion before retiring. Throughout this journey, I’ve guided numerous individuals towards their health and fitness aspirations.

In my own personal quest, I refused to settle for the motto “do as I say, not as I do.” I embarked on a journey of self-improvement:

  • Warrior Dash
  • Spartan Race
  • Tough Mudder
  • Savage Race
  • Battle Frog
  • Hyrox
  • Physique Competitions (with victories)
  • Membership in the 1000 lbs. Club

I understand how to help you achieve your goals because, like you, I’ve worn many hats—I’ve been a coach, a husband, a father, a son, and I once juggled all these roles while working full-time at UPS.

Remember, there’s always time, it’s never too late, and you’re never too old to start.
