Growing up in the small town of Kinston, NC you only did one of three things growing up. Ran the streets getting into trouble, played basketball, or played football. Only growing to be 5 feet and a few inches basketball was out for the start LOL. Somehow I manage to play football and graduate high school. Football easily became my first love while growing up and soon lifting heavy weights is all that mattered. Dealing with two close family members both my father figure uncle and grandmother pass away. I through myself into my heavy lifting even more. My schedule stayed consistent class and then the weight room. Eventually making my way to North Carolina Central University with my love of fitness I graduated to become a Wellness Instructor and Personal Trainer. Here we have me at present day just completing a master’s degree from California University of Pennsylvania. Doing my best to impact the world around through well-being as I reflected back on the two most important people in my life. Who could being living if they had an influence to live healthier. My message is that everyone does not have to become a bodybuilder or even have six pack abs, but just take care of your body and it will take care of you.
