Born and raised in Las Vegas, I’ve always been the type to blend book smarts and street smarts in everything I did. I grew up around the hustle. Exposed to both the legal side and street side of things through peers, family members, and simply just living in the entertainment capital of the world.

My dad kept a weight bench in the house, and fitness naturally became part of my life. As a teen, I trained to look good — but with time, fitness became the place where my mind cleared, my confidence grew, and my spirit felt grounded.

People noticed before I did. Friends asked for fitness tips, wanted to train with me, and assumed I’d become a personal trainer or bodybuilder. At the time, I didn’t think liking fitness was “enough” to make it a career. Everyone else saw my potential before I claimed it.

Then adulthood hit hard. After college, I battled burnout from multiple 9 to 5 jobs, high functioning depression, heartbreak, poor eating and drinking habits, losing multiple loved ones, inconsistency, and feeling disconnected from my purpose. I kept my gym membership, but not the discipline that once kept me anchored. I was still making moves but I still felt empty. For some years, I abandoned myself without realizing it but my spirit never allowed me to fold completely. Then around 2024/2025, I decided enough was enough. I realized I needed to reconnect with myself and it started with the very thing I loved since 15-- THE WEIGHTS.
