🤔 THOUGHT

This is what it looks like when you fall in love with something but ya got nothing.

My first powerlifting meet as a senior in high school, posing in my trailer with my plaque dreaming of lifting weights for my job one day.

The year: 1997. I never met a personal trainer before. I didn’t know one person that had the job I wanted, and the internet and social media didn't exist.

I couldn’t see myself going to a four-year college, and I didn’t have the grades or ACT scores to get in.

I felt a bit hopeless, but worked really hard underground in the coal mines to save money to give myself a chance.

I fell in love with lifting weights, getting better every day, and helping others.
