ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Military
Shortly after graduating high school in Texas, I joined the military, where I became a gunner mate and attended “C” School specializing in Vertical Launching Systems (VLS). I spent five years stationed in Jacksonville, Florida, completing four deployments in the Gulf, before transferring to San Diego, California, where I spent four more years as an instructor teaching VLS.
Bodybuilding
During my final year in the military, I pursued bodybuilding, competing in the Men’s Physique division in 2017. That same year, I turned professional and won my second pro show, which qualified me for the Mr. Olympia. Prior to competing at the Mr. Olympia, I also appeared on the stage of the Arnold Classic, earned two sponsorships, and modeled in four health and fitness magazines, building a name for myself early in my career. While competing was a rewarding experience, my true passion became helping others, which led me to become a personal trainer.
Fitness Coach
While competing, I earned certifications in Advanced Personal Training, Wellness Coaching, and Yoga to provide my clients with comprehensive guidance. Realizing I could offer more, I pursued massage therapy, which introduced me to a holistic approach to health and fitness. This eventually led me to study orthopedic massage, corrective exercise, and become a master herbalist. Over time, I developed a well-rounded system that not only improved clients’ physical fitness but also enhanced overall health. Since 2017, I have coached thousands of individuals, providing personalized consultations and fitness programs.
Fashion Designer
Understanding that people in my community value overall appearance, I pursued fashion design to combine physical fitness with personal style. Before attending college for fashion, I launched a business creating custom jackets, allowing clients to express their individuality and relevance through fully personalized garments. My goal is to help people stand out in their environment, giving them a sense of presence and confidence, similar to the way royalty is recognized. Additionally, I focus on modernizing loungewear, bringing style and accessibility to garments that people can wear in everyday life. In America culture where casual attire is easily accessible, I aim to design pieces that elevate public appearance and leave a lasting impression.
