Life has a funny way of bringing everything full circle. 🖤

Sometimes I look back at the kid I once was and wonder what he would think if he could see the life I’m living today.

The places I’ve been, the people I’ve met, the career I’ve built, and the experiences I’ve had. None of it happened overnight, and none of it came without sacrifices.

From childhood memories to working in environments I never imagined I’d be part of, to simply standing somewhere beautiful and appreciating the view, every moment reminds me how far I’ve come.

I’ve had chapters in my life that I never thought I’d make it through, and others I wish I could relive just one more time. I’ve made mistakes, taken chances, lost people, gained wisdom, and learned that not everything in life is meant to make sense right away.

One thing I’ve realized as I’ve gotten older is that success isn’t always about money, accomplishments, or the title you carry. Sometimes success is simply becoming someone your younger self would be proud of.

I’m grateful for where I started, proud of where I stand today, and excited for everything that’s still ahead of me.

These photos may seem random to some, but to me, they’re little pieces of a life I’ve spent years building.

The younger me had dreams. The older me is living some of them. And the future me still has so much more to accomplish. 🙏🏽

Here’s to appreciating the journey, not just the destination. 🥂

POV: You’re 6’7” at the gym and forget that not everyone sees the world from your height. 😂💪🏽

One thing about being 6’7” is that you get so used to your own height that you sometimes forget just how tall you really are.

I’ll be at the gym, minding my business, getting my workout in, and then I’ll catch myself standing next to someone or looking back at a video and realize just how HUGE the height difference actually is. 😂

Whether it’s standing next to an average-height guy or a young lady, sometimes the comparison genuinely catches me off guard.

What’s funny is that I don’t walk around feeling like a giant. I just feel normal because this is the height I’ve lived with my entire adult life. But seeing myself from someone else’s perspective is a completely different experience.

Being big and tall definitely comes with its challenges, especially in the gym, but I’ve learned to embrace every inch of it.

To me, I’m just a regular guy. To everyone else, apparently I’m the tallest person in the building. 😂🖤

Just another day living life at 6’7”.

Fun fact about me that some of you probably wouldn’t expect. 🖤

I’m actually really into darkwave, goth, post-punk, and pretty much all genres of music. My taste has never been limited to just one sound, and the same goes for my personal style.

I’ve always considered myself a little alternative. Not necessarily fitting into one specific category, but taking inspiration from different cultures, music scenes, and fashion aesthetics and making them my own.

One day you might catch me in streetwear, the next in something more gothic, vintage, or industrial. That’s what I love about fashion. There are no rules when it comes to expressing who you are.

Rocking my @rott____ hat today, bringing a little darker energy into the fit. 🦇

At 6’7”, I already stand out in a crowd, so why not let my personality and style stand out too? 😂

I don’t dress to fit into a category. I dress to express the different sides of who I am.

A little dark. A little different. Always myself. 🖤

There’s a feeling you get when you finally fit into a pair of jeans you once thought you’d NEVER be able to wear. 🥹💯

From a size 56 to a size 42. 👖

To some people, they’re just jeans. But to me, they represent every sacrifice, every workout, every moment of frustration, and every time I chose not to give up on myself.

Being 6’7” and a bigger guy, finding clothes that fit comfortably and make me feel confident has always been a challenge. There was a time when I thought certain styles and sizes just weren’t meant for someone built like me.

But here I am, proving my old mindset wrong.

The scale can tell you how much weight you’ve lost, but it can’t describe the feeling of slipping into something you once thought was impossible.

14 waist sizes down, and a whole different level of confidence gained. 🙏🏽

I’m still a work in progress, but moments like this remind me how far I’ve truly come.

Sometimes the biggest transformations aren’t just about how you look, but how you feel about yourself. 🖤

Sometimes it’s not just about the food, it’s about the whole experience. 🍔🥂

Stopped by Laurel Tavern in Studio City, and I have to say, this place definitely knows how to set the mood.

From the delicious food to the laid-back yet intimate atmosphere, everything about this spot makes you want to sit back, relax, and enjoy the moment.

Whether you’re planning a cute date night, catching up with friends, or just looking for somewhere to grab a good bite after a long day, Laurel Tavern checks all the boxes.

Great food, good vibes, and even better company. Sometimes that’s all you really need. 🤎

One thing about my fitness journey is that I’m always finding little things that help me feel more comfortable and confident while putting in the work. 💪🏽

Lately, I’ve been incorporating the @sweetsweat waist band into my workouts, especially when I’m training my core.

At 6’7”, carrying extra weight around my waist and love handles has always been one of the areas I’ve wanted to improve. The band gives me that snug, supportive feeling around my midsection while I work toward a tighter, more defined physique.

Now, I know a waist band alone isn’t going to burn belly fat or make love handles disappear. That comes from consistency, proper nutrition, and putting in the work.

But if something helps me feel supported and more confident during my workouts, I’m all for it.

It’s not about finding shortcuts. It’s about finding what works for you and staying consistent with your goals. 💯

Still a work in progress, but proud of how far I’ve come. 🖤

Who said being big & tall means you can’t rock overalls? 😂

Standing at 6’7”, I’ve learned that style isn’t about fitting into what everyone else wears. It’s about finding what works for your body and wearing it with confidence.

And personally, you can never go wrong with a good pair of @carhartt overalls. Comfortable, durable, timeless, and definitely big-man approved. 💯

Being a bigger guy doesn’t mean you have to limit your wardrobe or play it safe. Wear what you like, experiment with your style, and most importantly, OWN IT.

Big & tall doesn’t mean limited style. It just means more room to stand out. 🤎

Chapter 38. 🎂

Today I turn 38, and more than anything, I’m grateful.

When I look back at everything I’ve experienced, accomplished, lost, gained, built, and overcome, I realize just how much life has shaped me into the man I am today.

I’ve taken chances. I’ve built businesses. I’ve grown in my career. I’ve transformed myself physically. I’ve made mistakes, learned some hard lessons, experienced heartbreak, created unforgettable memories, and met people who became family along the way.

There were times when I questioned where life was taking me, but somehow every chapter—good and bad—helped prepare me for the next one.

At 38, I’m not where I started, and I’m still not where I ultimately want to be. And that’s what makes me excited.

I’m proud of the man I’ve become, proud of everything I’ve accomplished, and even more motivated by everything I still know I’m capable of.

I don’t need life to be perfect. I just want to keep growing, keep experiencing, keep loving the people who matter to me, and keep becoming a better version of myself.

38 years of life. 38 years of lessons. And I feel like I’m just getting started. 🥂

Happy Birthday to me. 🎈 by @droaugusto

Sometimes self-care is simply taking yourself out, enjoying your own company, eating something good, and letting the world slow down for a minute.

Today’s date: me, myself & @erewhon . 😂

No special occasion. No explanation needed. Just learning that taking care of yourself mentally, physically, and emotionally is always worth making time for.

Protect your peace. Enjoy your own company. Take yourself on the date. 🤎 by @droaugusto

First of the month. New chapter. Same me, just wiser.

I’m not asking October to be perfect. I’m just walking into this month grateful for how far I’ve come, focused on where I’m going, and trusting that everything meant for me will come at the right time.

Some months are about winning. Some are about learning. This month, I’m just focused on becoming a better version of myself one day at a time.

October, be good to me. 🤎🍂 by @droaugusto

POV: You’re 6’7” walking down Melrose and somehow a matcha run becomes part of the adventure 😂🍵

Stopped by Olive & James to check out the vibe and finally give their matcha coffee a try. Safe to say the tall guy approved. 😂

Good atmosphere, good energy, and something a little different from my usual coffee run.

Just another day seeing LA from 6’7” above everybody else. 😂

Yeah, I have gynecomastia. And for a long time, it was something I was extremely self-conscious about.

But throughout this journey, I’ve learned that confidence doesn’t have to wait until your body is “perfect.”

Right now, I live with it. I train, I work on myself, I continue improving my physique, and I’m still confident enough to take my shirt off and be proud of how far I’ve come.

Eventually, when I reach my ideal body weight and I’m where I want to be physically, I plan on getting it removed. But until then, I’m not putting my confidence on hold.

This is my body right now, and I’m proud of it.

There’s always going to be something we want to improve about ourselves—but that doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate who we are today while working toward who we want to become tomorrow.

Progress over perfection. Confidence through every stage. 💪🏽
