Almost 4k of you didn’t see where this all began.

You only see where I am now. You probably don’t know how I got here.

I never had some perfect plan figured out. I definitely didn’t know I would find a career in fitness. Like a lot of people, I was just trying to build a future one step at a time.

Looking back now, it wasn’t really about the food. I had no set goal. No big aspirations for improvement and I simply didn’t know how to build a lifestyle that supported my goals.

Hiring a trainer/coach was one of the best investments I’ve ever made. Sometimes all it takes is someone believing in you before you believe in yourself. Not everything i learned would i apply today but it was the first thing to show me I had the potential to be better!

This season of my life taught me a lesson I still coach by today: you’re never “too busy” to make progress—you just need a plan that fits your life. I’ve coached first responders, students, accountants, engineers, entrepreneurs one thing they all have in common is limited time. One thing the successful people have in common is they move priority’s to make time to improve themselves!

Those years weren’t just about learning how to coach. They taught me leadership, communication, and how to genuinely care for the people trusting you with their goals.

People doubted me. I understood why. From the outside it looked unrealistic. Instead of arguing, I just kept showing up every day.

Bodybuilding gave me incredible opportunities, but the greatest reward has never been the trophies. It’s watching someone accomplish something they once thought was impossible.

Betting on yourself is scary. There are no guarantees. But sometimes the biggest risk is never giving yourself the chance to see what you’re capable of.

Whether your goal is losing 30 pounds, building confidence, or stepping on stage someday, my mission is the same: help you become the version of yourself you’ve always known was possible.

If you’ve made it this far, thank you for taking the time to learn a little about my story. I hope one day I get the opportunity to be a small part of yours.

CHOPPY CREW
A single man decided "What if I took a sport that's completely about the individual, and introduced teamwork?" Even on paper, it was a maverick idea. A bunch of hyper-competitive, highly disciplined individuals who all want to be number one, working together to improve in their chosen division. Somehow @choppychimp made it work. @choppycrew

There’s something special about watching someone you believe in start to see what you’ve seen in them all along.

The work is his. The sacrifices are his. The moment is his. I’m just grateful to have a seat in his corner and play a part in turning that vision into reality.

The goal was never just to build better physiques. It was to build people who believe they’re capable of more.

The dream is free. The work is paid in full. #choppycrew #onlinecoach #mensphysique by @choppychimp

Throwback to training in Hawaii at @ironhawaiianfitness a month out from my Bodybuilding debut.

The lighting at the dumbbell rack was a little bit insane.

Interested to see the difference between this and early June 2027 when I'm about the same length of time out from Vegas for my first National level show.

5 years. Just under 150lbs on the left. 188lbs one week post show on the right. This was starting my bodybuilding journey hard core the version on the left was already 4 years into to building a lifestyle and better habits

The biggest difference between these two pictures isn’t the weight or the muscle, it’s 5 years of doing the work.

There were setbacks. There were mistakes. There were times I could’ve done things better and times things didn’t go according to plan. But whether I did the work or not, those 5 years were going to pass either way.

A lot of people couldn’t see the vision when I was the guy on the left. Some probably didn’t believe it was possible. But I did. And more importantly, that version of me stayed consistent enough to give me the chance to become this version of me.

That’s what I think people miss about transformations like this. You don’t have to have everything figured out from day one. You just have to keep showing up long enough to figure it out along the way.

And I’m still nowhere near done.

THE DREAM IS FREE. THE WORK IS PAID IN FULL.

If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to start your own journey, stop waiting. Time is going to pass either way. DM me “START” and let’s put that time to work.
