"My journey from the corners of East Oakland to the high-rises of San Francisco was far from easy. But with a strong work ethic and the hunger to succeed, I persevered. Fitness has always been my anchor—a way to strengthen not just my body, but my mind and soul.
ACTIVATE THE BODY. FORTIFY THE MIND. SWEAT FOR EQUITY. These aren’t just words—they’re a way of life, and I’m here to share that with you. Together, we’ll push boundaries, unlock potential, and inspire change."
