My journey in my youth I was very active. I played soccer, won a sports scholarship, and even held the state long jump record. But it wasn’t always this way. Believe it or not, I was a skinny little boy. I was also curious and booksmart (my nickname was the “professor”) and I was always looking at ways to be better. But what really set me apart is that my parents always encouraged me to channel my energy, keep moving and never give up. This set me up for life. Fast forward a few years, I went on to win a natural body building title, gain my Masters in Human Resources and launch my health and wellness company in 2011. I am a living example of how a positive mindset can turn your life around.
