I'm currently living in the Rio Grande Valley and I am thankful for the constant support from PVP.

I am also a World Champion in ISKA Continuous Point fighting and a State Champion in Taekwondo. PVP has been in my corner and continues to do so, support us in our journey of growing together! God Bless!

I was born and Raised in Kentucky, and am a certified Personal trainer/ strength conditioning coach. My degree is in Biology/Pre-Med Degree and I'm currently working at LA Fitness as a district Vice President running 14 locations' training departments. I'm a professional MMA Fighter 1-1 (1 KO/1 SD) Ammy record 6-0, 3 title fights, 4 finishes. My hobbies include: Lifting weights, outdoor activities, spending time w/ my dogs and family and will destroy Cane's any day of the week!  

 I am an amateur middle weight strong(wo)man. I've been doing strongman for about a year and a half and training for two years. The reason I started lifting in general was because I had just come out of a toxic relationship that destroyed my self esteem and put me into a state of depression. I doubted myself a lot at the beginning but my brother pushed me to better myself and inspired me to join strongman and now I'll be heading to my first nationals in 2025. I joined this sport to prove to not only myself but to others around me that with hard work and a positive mindset anything is possible. I'm also honored to work along side Pride v Pack because they are veteran owned and I currently have a family member serving in the armed forces. The products are great quality and I value everything that they stand for and have done for me and my strongman journey. 

I am the current Rio Grande Valley Strongest Man and hold the title of Amateur World Champion for the World Strength Games. I've been competing in Strongman since 2022 and with my time competing it has made me a stronger and more athletic version of myself, but most importantly it has taught me discipline and determination. My goal is to compete and become the World's Strongest Man. My fitness journey started in 2020 when the COVID pandemic started. It began with the desire to just become more confident in myself and boost my overall self esteem. As I fell in love with the process of becoming stronger and happier with the way I felt about myself, I had thought about taking things to the next level. I had always been a fan of watching my favorite strongman on YouTube, Brain Shaw 4X World Strongest Man, and I decided to find a way to get involved in Strongman. I started competing in the fall of 2022 and I never looked back. Now I am on the pursuit of not only being the strongest version of myself, but pursuing to be one of the strongest humans to walk the earth. The mentality and determination it takes to become one of the strongest humans is the reason why I have chosen to be apart of Pride v Pack. Not only does this brand represent who I am as an individual but it's core foundations' embodies everything that I am and what I am destined to become!

I am 47 years old and have been competing in Strongman for almost 10 years. My reason for lifting is to see how strong of a person I can become. To test that strength I compete against other Strongman. I will be competing in North American Strongman Corporation Master Nationals on Nov 16th and 17th of 2025 for a chance to become the strongest man in North America over 40 at 200lbs. I'd like to continue to represent Pride v Pack as it has helped me as a wonderful sponsor and represents great qualities that I hold to a very high standard.

I am a strongman athlete here at Steel City. I have been competing in strongman for almost a year now, but started my journey with competitive powerlifting in 2022. I love the growing sport of strongman along with the community. My younger brother is one of the few pro strongman athletes in the Rio Grande Valley and he pushed me to compete in this sport rather than powerlifting because of the potential he saw in me on becoming a pro as well! One of the main reasons I do this is to showcase why this growing sport is fun yet so challenging. Seeing the audiences reactions on certain events showing brute strength and endurance is always a sight to see and I love the feeling. During my journey I have come to know Pride v Pack and what they stand for and I couldn't have asked for a better sponsor. Not only do I admire their pride and ambition but how well they take care of their athletes. Pride v Pack has a vision and a dream to grow their name and brand way beyond the RGV! I am honored and privileged to represent a brand like PvP and will continue to grow along side them!
