You’ll see it’s been a long journey for me to get to where I am today.
To learn about the vision and ideals of DieselSC, you simply have to understand a little bit more about me.
I am a Father who is absolutely committed to my family and everything I do is to try to support them and give them love and security each and every day.
I love my friends and I always try to be there to give them the support and the strength they need to achieve their own dreams.
My Background
My Mother was a kind soul and eternally optimistic. She always showed me how to be grateful and look for the beauty in life – and I try to do that every single day.
As far as my dreams, they are built on my purpose and passion – which is helping others become stronger in and out of the gym.
When I help others grow stronger and get them to start to believing in themselves, I am fulfilled. My heart soars and I feel immense peace.
This is why I was put on this earth and I have worked every single day since I was a kid to feel this peace.
I grew up on a farm and learned the importance of hard work early on. Feeding horses and cows before I got on the bus in the morning and putting up hay all summer, my work ethic developed early on.
I developed a love of training at 14 when I started wrestling in school and loved how strength training gave me much more than just strength. Training has been my life ever since.
