“With much humility, I believe my passion in this life is to help people realize
their dreams. Whether they be in fitness, in life or in business, I feel I have
been given this one opportunity on earth to make as much of a difference
as I can for anyone who will choose to listen, and I refuse to squander it. My
experience is no different…no grander and no more special than anyone
else’s. I was shaped by my simple upbringings and my parents, by my service
in the Army, by my family, by my wins and losses, by my involvement
with Entrepreneurs Organization (EO), and by God. Everyday I’m hustling.”
The guy to call when you wanna look better naked.
