I was always an active kid growing up. I participated in community sports but fell in love with soccer. I used soccer as an escape from the real world. When I was playing nothing mattered other than not letting the other team’s players get down the field with the ball. When I wasn’t on the field, I was angry, scared, confused because I didn’t know where I belonged. 

 I knew I was different and I wasn’t sure if I was ready to accept it. In college, I went to try-out for top schools; however, coaches always said I needed to put on some weight because I was too skinny and to try again next year. 

I ended up playing for Chaffey College and once my college soccer career came to an end in 2017, I needed to find another outlet so that’s when I turned to fitness. Fitness was that place, I knew I belonged there from the moment I did my very first home workout. It was tough but at the end I felt like I could take on the world and I never looked back! As the years passed by, I felt very insecure about my glutes being a gay man.

I had a “pancake butt” and I was so embarrassed to wear shorts or even speedos because I didn’t feel confident enough on my own skin. So that’s when I decided to study glutes and how I could turn my pancake booty into the booty I wanted. I now want to help those who struggle with that exact thing and create a place where you feel like you belong.
