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.

HAPPY HUMP DAY LADIES🍑 I’ve actually never posted a lower body transformation like this before. Partly because social media has a way of sexualizing women’s bodies when sometimes… it’s literally just muscle... muscle that took YEARS to build.

Years of eating when I wasn’t hungry. Years of training when I was tired. Years of progressive overload, heavy ass weights, & quite literally lifting like a man 😂 Years of showing up when there was absolutely nothing “impressive” to show yet.

& this is probably why it makes me laugh & HIGH-KEY bothers me when people tell me, “You just have amazing genetics.” Girl… WHERE?! 😭😂 (no ass no hammies no quads no upper or outer glute genetic having ass)

I was not naturally blessed with my physique. I didn’t start w/ naturally perfect bikini structure. I built what I have meal by meal, rep by rep, year after year.

There are thousands of meals behind these pictures. Thousands of sets. So many uncomfortable growth phases (like the one I’m currently coming out of) So many days looking in the mirror wondering if the work was even working. & THAT is what makes this transformation so special to me.

Because I know what I started w/ & I know how long it took. I know how many times I had to choose patience when I wanted immediate results.

So PLEASE DONT EVER look at me & think “good genetics.” I am an original inverted a** girlie 🤣 (I can say that because that was my reality for years)

I see discipline.
I see consistency.
I see years of choosing the long game.
I see a girl who refused to accept that the body she started w/ was the body she had to stay with.

A huge shout out to @pjclassic_ (RIP🪽🙏🏻) for showing me how strong I really am and being a big part of this growth and huge shout out to my honey🩷 for also being a big part of this (and continuing to be) as well. I wouldn’t be where I’m at without either of you two.

I can confidently say I practice what I preach & I walk it like I talk it. If you’re ready to quit playing and transform not only your body but your mind, DM me or fill out a coaching inquiry in my bio 😘💅🏼🍑🩷

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 @choppycrew

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.

Huge shoutout to @ajbodybuildingmag for not just getting pictures but capturing the moments.

Pretty crazy to think that something I started doing because I loved it has put me in a position where I get to help other people through it. Being asked to speak and teach posing at my home gym means a lot to me. Not just because I get to share what I’ve learned, but because earning the respect and trust to be put in this position is something I don’t take lightly. Grateful for our bodybuilding community, the promoters of our local shows John and Noel for continuing to create opportunities like this, and @body_by_bobby for always opening his doors and giving us a place to grow the sport. This community has given me a lot, and being able to give some of that back is a blessing. And shoutout to @madelyphstyle for getting me and my girl right with the matching kicks 🤝 finding a pair we both like AND can both get in our sizes is harder than it should be 😂 #bodybuilding #onlinecoach #choppycrew by @choppycrew

4 weeks post show. 10–12 lbs over stage weight.

The look changes. The weight goes up. The mind starts playing games.

Some days I feel great. Other days I question everything.

But prep taught me one thing: you don’t get to choose which days you show up.

You train when you’re tired. You stick to the plan when you don’t feel like it. You keep pushing when the mirror isn’t giving you the validation you want.

Because bodybuilding isn’t built on the days you feel motivated.

It’s built on the days you don’t.

This is the part nobody sees. Still figuring it out. Still pushing forward. Still building.And this is where the next version of me gets built. 🦍 #choppycrew

2026 Tahoe Classic Routine!
From shy and timid to standing on stage under the lights.
My 2nd bodybuilding show ever, and somehow… it felt natural. It felt like I belonged there.I never knew how much potential was inside me until I stepped on that stage. Time to improve and do it again next year #choppycrew #bodybuilding #npcclassicphysique #npcbodybuilding by @choppycrew

Stop letting one bad weigh in convince you your diet isn’t working.

Your weight is going to move around. Water, sodium, carbs, digestion, training, stress, sleep… all of it can change what you see on the scale without you actually gaining body fat.

Look at the bigger picture. Weekly averages, progress pictures, measurements, gym performance and how you’re actually looking and feeling.

And before you start cutting food or adding more cardio make sure you’ve actually followed the plan long enough to know if it’s working.

Collect the data. Look at the trend. Then make adjustments.
