My First Before & After Picture

Someone asked me the other day why I’ve never posted a before & after picture.

To be honest, it’s because I was embarrassed of who I once was. People know me today as being a health coach, bodybuilder, motivational speaker, and confident person. Rewind 5 years ago and the story was much-much different.

I graduated college as a football player weighing 250lbs; shy, lost, depressed, & unmotivated. I hated how I looked, I hated how others perceived me, but worst of all I hated how I felt – empty. Deep down I knew I was birthed to be more to do more but I had ZERO self confidence and that held me back. Can any of you relate to this?

One day in 2010 I woke up feeling worse than I ever had before but through some type of divine intervention I stumbled across a video on YouTube by Eric Thomas called the, “Secret To Success” and he said, “When you want to breathe as bad as you want to succeed, then you’ll be successful.” That one line changed my entire mindset! I decided that I was going to take ownership of my life; 100% Responsibility & 0% Excuses!

I began researching everything about nutrition, fitness, personal development and I got to WORK!! Day after day, week after week, year after year, slowly but surely my entire life started to transform. Physical, mental, and emotional progress began to take shape and with that my self confidence began to grow & grow & grow. I started to BELIEVE in myself & whatever you believe about yourself on the inside manifests itself on the outside!

The process of change wasn’t and still isn’t easy. There are NO short cuts to success only hardwork, dedication, and a burning desire to be better than you were yesterday. Thousands of people have done it before us and thousands of people will do it after us. The process of change is proven and the process will purify – TRUST THE PROCESS!!
