Q: What are you in pursuit of?

A: I’m in pursuit of making the fitness industry more inclusive & less intimidating. So many have confidence issues because of old toxic gym culture & I want to change that by creating an environment where everyone feels okay to become their most badass self.

Q: What is your greatest accomplishment thus far?

A: I have been known as one of the most prominent trans trainers online for my community. Working with over 500 people since Covid happened, I consider myself to be a light in the trans & LGBTQ community for fitness & health.

Q: What do you expect from your performance nutrition products?

A: To fuel me with clean ingredients that have no bad fillers & are cohesive with muscle building & recovery needs

Q: What’s your approach to health and fitness?

A: Science based, sustainable & flexible

Q: Is one more important than the other to you? Why?

A: I love the science based approach on all fronts but I also understand the needs of approaches like “IIFYM” because everyone needs freedom to enjoy foods & things they love while still being “healthy.” I like teaching that balance.

Q: You were a beginner once. Who/what did you rely on for information? For inspiration?

A: I relied on bodybuilding.com & the magazine SO much when I was younger. As I got a little older educational content on sports nutrition & exercise science peaked my interests more. My dad was my inspiration a lot growing up, he owned a local gym & was the strongest man in Kentucky multiple years.

Q: What’s one thing you wish someone told you when you decided to get serious about your health & fitness?

A: When I first began to get into it when I was much younger I always under ate & over trained. Wish I would have known more about the importance of that true caloric surplus.

Q: What does it mean for you to be on the Dymatize Squad?

A: To me this is something I have wanted & worked towards for YEARS! This is the one company I trust enough to recommend to all of my clients & the only one I trust for myself. Being a part of this brand feels very organic for me & it’s a great fit. I love this brand & what it stands for!
