He attended Northwestern State University majoring in Psychology and also participating as a member of the football team. In 2000, he transferred to the University of New Orleans to finish his degree in Psychology, hoping to gain the understanding of the functionality of human behavior and has since been a resident of New Orleans, La. With the help of his past coaches, peers and other influencers, he began his fitness journey at the age of 15, familiarizing himself with strength training and performance enhancement to better his own abilities in competition. Finding that fitness was his passion later on in his adulthood, he started his own research in efforts to gain more information on how to maintain his own health. With that acquired knowledge and from the opinions and experiences of others he’s trained gave him a convincing idea that becoming a certified personal trainer was something he’d be really good at. With 5+ yrs of training experience, he has serviced many individuals looking to better themselves aesthetically, to increase their performance in competition, to maintain every day functionality or just to gain health and fitness education; included but not limited to individuals such as young athletes, middle-aged and elderly clients. He later joined the NOAC team in 2021 with the help of a current member’s assertiveness to legitimize his status as an institutional trainer. Through his own personal experiences, acquired accolades and with the knowledge he’s gained over the years, his desire to help others achieve their own goals is matched by no other in his opinion.
