I’m an award-winning personal trainer, the author of three books, and the host of the Adversity Advantage Podcast. I'm on a crusade to inspire others to overcome adversity and become the best version of themselves. I’m a former convicted felon and drug addict who spent time in jail for “possession with intent to sell.” While locked in a cell, I kicked addiction, slayed my personal demons, and reinvented myself. I've been in recovery since the day I was incarcerated in 2008.
