About

Being trained and influenced by a family of professional athletes and professional dancers, he succeeded in professional breakdancing, gaining sponsorships and winning battles with his crew. He has a background in Jeet Kune Do and MMA, and started lifting weights to build strength - a passion that quickly took over. His love for helping people led him to personal training at age 19.
