Finding strength
in the struggle
As a business owner, teacher, husband, father and fitness advocate, I find myself wearing many hats. Each one is of great importance to my personal fulfillment and encompasses a part of my identity, a tool which I consider to be vital to my progress. My personal success has been built through determination and perseverance, and I have found strength in the struggle. As a speaker, I focus on the life lessons I’ve extracted from the moments that have tested my boundaries. If there’s one thing I have learned and wish to communicate, it’s to always be true to who you are.
Areas of expertise
I aim to educate in these domains by speaking from experience.
Business
As someone who started from the bottom and now leads a business that has grossed over $1.5 billion in sales for its clients.
Digital Marketing
Great digital marketing takes discipline. And just like a fitness journey, it’s important to set goals in order to truly understand ROI.
Leadership & Motivation
You get out what you put in. As Muhammad Ali once said, “Don't count the days. Make the days count.” Enough said.
Philanthropy is at the heart of who I am and what I do
At the core of my being and work lies philanthropy. It is the act of giving back that fuels my sense of purpose and drives everything I do. I have been fortunate enough to work with underserved youth all around the world, and it has brought a great deal of meaning to my life. Through my experiences, I have learned that sharing my struggles and journey towards success with these young individuals can make a profound impact. My hope is that by sharing my own story, I can inspire a sense of belief in their ability to accomplish anything they set their minds to in life.
