YOUR TRAINER
THE "NO QUIT" ATTITUDE THAT MADE HIS DREAMS A REALITY.
In my journey, perseverance and dedication helped make my dream a reality. I wasn’t recruited out of high school, I wasn’t a big name coming out of college to grab the attention of pro teams. I had to earn everything by hard work.
Starting out at a Division III school, Buffalo State College was one of very few schools that had reached out. After being turned down multiple times, I was able to reach a goal of playing Division I football at the University at Buffalo. The fire was lit, as I worked harder every day to ultimately earn a full ride scholarship for my remaining two years.
After college the battle continued, as I received no try outs with teams, no camp invites, no calls and was left with wondering if I would ever play football again. After a few off-season team workouts, combines, training camps and try outs; FOUR YEARS AND FIVE CUTS later, I finally did it. In 2015, I made the 53 man roster with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Never giving up, I made my DREAM COME TRUE. In 2016, I played for the Green Bay Packers, making it all the way to the NFC Championship game. In 2017, I signed a year extension with Green Bay, but ended up with a L4/L5 herniated disc and was on injured/ reserve for the season.
When an injury occurs, it can either make or break you. At times it was really hard. I decided not to get surgery and took the long road to recovery with natural rehab. I trained every day, kept myself strong, and visualized that I would come back better than ever and play football again.
In 2019, I made that happen, as I was drafted by the Tampa Bay Vipers for the new XFL football league. I was able to play in five games (for the first time since January 2017) until the season was shut down. This has lead to my second dream of owning a gym and helping others. Through my experience and knowledge, I hope I can push people to be their best physically and mentally.
There will always be obstacles, tough times, and different struggles. For me, the gym/ fitness kept me going and helped me learn a lot about myself. I could have easily quit, but then would have to live with the consequence of regret. I challenge you to chase a goal/ a dream, and know that you put in the work each and every day! For me, there was never a plan B...I was always going to make plan A happen. So here I am to help guide you and hopefully make your fitness goals come true!
