During my time in college studying and learning from the best coaches and doctors in their respective fields, I worked with many professional athletes on the highest level, but also, your average everyday mom, dad and every walk of life in between. While It was my dream to be on the professional coaching circuit, I found a passion for helping the people in my community around me. People that did not have what I had growing up, the coaches, the education, the lessons, the push that I naturally had. I wanted to share that with them, my life experiences, to help them achieve their own personal goals and improve the quality of their lives. Right out of college, this mindset helps me take the 5th worst gym to incorporate Gold’s Gym at the time and take it to the top where we ranked #1 in the country. That is when I wanted to take my passion to the next level and open my own training business that symbolizes who I am as a person, Rock Fitness and Performance “The Rock.” Taken from my alma mater (not the actor). I wanted to create a community of individuals that value their health and fitness on a deeper level, to be that symbol people would remember when they have life thrown at them. I have been through much in my life, battling cancer for 16 months after opening my own business at the age of 26, “The Rock” still stands and we are growing this community of strong-minded people who believe in becoming the best versions of themselves so they can contribute that much more back to society.
