In July of 2001 he began his time in the Marine Corps at Parris Island, SC. He spent the next nine years serving in billets such as Combat Engineer, Marine Corps Martial Arts Instructor Trainer , and Drill Instructor back home where it all started on Parris Island. From this point with absolutely no plan he left the Marine Corps and became a partner in a local gym in Beaufort, SC. The gym grew to multiple locations until the next calling came which he accepted to go back to work for the United States Marine Corps except this time as a civilian working with the Strength and Conditioning program known at the time as HITT. During this time he served as the program director for MCAS Beaufort and MCRD Parris Island as well as the advisory board for human performance HeadQuarters Marine Corps.

While serving in the United States Marine Corps he received a purple heart, combat action, navy achievement medal with multiple awards, and navy commendation with a “V”. Today his passion is opening minds on what is possible and never forgetting that it doesn't come from teaching people what to think but how. Episode Takeaways Be present and real in parenting. Embrace the process, not just the outcome. Military experiences shape personal growth. Transitioning to civilian life requires adaptation. Mindset is key to continuous improvement. Touching the flame means embracing challenges. Truth can be uncomfortable but necessary. Labels can limit personal identity. Fitness should not come at the expense of family.
