Since I was young, I’ve known that God has called me to ministry. I’ve been a pastor’s kid, and watching my dad minister to people made my passion expand. I have worked with children in countless environments and churches, with hundreds of internship hours. Over the past 6 years, God has been with me on an amazing life-changing journey. I’ve lost 150 lbs, with the help of my trainer Ben Crosswhite. In these 6 years, I have gained so much knowledge while training under him and from my personal weight loss experience. Through my training, research/education about different methods and nutrition and speaking opportunities, an excitement has been building within me to share and teach what I have learned with others. I could think of no greater place to be than at the gym that changed my life. I have no doubt that I can help and support others in their journey toward lifelong fitness, as they pursue and maintain a healthy lifestyle through physical activity and eating right, while they receive encouragement to focus on God’s will for their life. I know what it’s like to struggle in fitness, but more importantly I know what it’s like to excel in fitness. My struggle has become my passion and my strength comes through Christ.
