Believe in yourself and never give up!

In middle school my dad brought me home Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding. I read it cover to cover and fell in love with bodybuilding. I would ride my bike to my local GNC store weekly to just look at the products and read the labels of all the bodybuilder supplements. I was obsessed with maximizing human performance. At this point my life revolved around wresting, football, and weights lifting. 

As soon as I turned 18, I began working for GNC. I always thought it would be a part time job. From 2007 to 2011 my pro MMA career took off and so did my career with GNC. I stayed with GNC for 14 years. I stared as a part time sales associate and ended my career as a regional sales director leading different territories all across the US. I learned to win in business and build high performing teams.

Most of my life I dream about bodybuilding and starting a supplement company. I allowed other opportunities to take me away from what I really wanted. At the end of 2021 I left GNC and did it. I started living my dream. You can to!
