My Story
I am a web developer, photographer, and a health and fitness coach using products like P90X, Insanity, TurboFire and Shakeology to help people get fit and healthy to enjoy their lives as long as possible.
in early 2006 my mother passed away from complications during surgery removing a sarcoma cancer tumor after having battled with it for about 2 years. During that time I gained weight from stress, so I ended up going to a gym and losing 45lbs in about 2 months. I hit a plateau, however, and my cousin Jimmy Hays Nelson told me about Beachbody and P90X, how muscle confusion broke through plateaus, and the amazing results he had seen, so I signed up as a coach to get the products at the 25% discounted rate. I started using P90X and immediately saw more toning, higher energy, and I fell in love with all the Beachbody fitness programs.
In late 2008 my father passed away from sudden heart failure because of stress and not taking care of his fitness and nutrition. At that time I had been regularly using the Beachbody fitness programs and taking Shakeology, the meal replacement health shake, and I went to a cardiologist who performed multiple exams on my heart, ending in the diagnosis that as long as I continued doing what I was doing, I would beat my genetics.
After a period of grieving, in February 2010 I decided to devote the rest of my life to helping get the word out to people that there are healthier options out there that can still include good, tasty food and fun activities. I became more active as a Team Beachbody coach, and have been helping people ever since.
I've seen amazing transformations in the people I have helped, and I believe my parents are proud of the mission I've put myself on. I hope you find insightful, inspiring information on my website, and that I am able to help make your life better in some way!
