As a child I was very athletic so I’ve always wanted to pursue a career in sports. I attended Pasadena High School where I spent three years in the Visual Arts and Design academy. I also played basketball and participated in track and field. After graduating high school, I attended Pasadena Community College on and off for three years and eventually left for good when I was offered the opportunity to play semi professional basketball in Texas. I spent 2 years in the United Basketball League playing for the Texas Wranglers. I am a certified personal trainer with certifications from the National Exercise and Sports Training Association (NESTA), and the National Council of Certified Personal Trainers (NCCPT). The creed that I live by is that “there is no such thing as failure only delayed success.” This is the concept I stress when I train myself, or anyone else working with me. As a trainer my success is based on the success of the people I train. If they fail then I fail, and as I stated earlier I don’t believe in failure. Right now I'm currently writing more fitness books to spread my concepts on physical fitness training. I compete in The Reebok Spartan Races and I'm aspiring to make the Spartan Pro Team.
