Weight-loss & Transformation Expert

This #DadTo8 has gone from being at my heaviest of 353lbs back in 2019 (after being obese since my childhood) down to 200 lbs in 2020. That’s a total of 150lbs of fat melted during a time when even gyms were closed. After that, I remained consistent and built 43 lbs of muscle the last 3 years. A total body and life transformation indeed. After being diagnosed with high BP when I landed at the hospital due to what I thought was a heart attack only to find out it was an anxiety attack and of course, my BP was at 215/110 ! That was my reality check. As a Father and Husband, I knew I had to change. Not just for me, but for them too, all 9 of them. I became inspired by own journey and the community I live in being so supportive and inspired as well, that I decided to get certified and start helping others accomplish the same. For me, fitness changed my life. It’s changed my parenting ways and just complete lifestyle, for good, which is what’s kept me passionate in helping others challenge themselves. I love showing people how to unleash their inner potential and challenge themselves to where they’ll accomplish what they once thought was impossible. I’ve worked for large franchise gyms like The Camp Transformation Center as well as small Vet Owned gyms like Warrior Zone in Hemet. Not just that, I’ve also worked for big corporate LA Fitness, starting as a PT Councelor and promoting up to Director where I led a team of trainers helping our community. Before Fitness, I worked in the Telecom Wireless industry where I got to be a part of T-Mobile’s 3G, 4G, & 5G movements as I worked as a Project Manager overseeing Materials & Logistics through the West Coast as well as South Region of USA. The last 18 years I’ve been not only an employee but also a husband and dad. I’ve enjoyed my life, even at my heaviest, but I can admit, my life feels better being at my finest and fittest ever. I love helping people. I love serving my community. I’m now answering my calling as a Leader in Fitness.
