I have the privilege of sitting down with people from all over the world to hear transformational stories that impact and inspire.

Dead or in jail by 21. That's what people expected of me. I grew up insecure, overweight, and constantly in trouble, with no confidence and no plans for the future. In 2007, I skipped college and started at R&R Pipeline, Inc., earning $9 an hour with a shovel in my hand. After years of going nowhere, a mentor asked, “What the hell are you doing with your life?”
That question changed everything. I committed to personal growth, became a Crew Leader at 22, and set a bold goal: to own R&R Pipeline by 30. Against all odds, my business partner and I made it happen in 2019.
From there, I became a shareholder of Max Effort Muscle, helped launch Uprising Athletics, and started the Iron & Infrastructure Podcast. I've merged my love for equipment and lifting weights, and now it's time to include my third passion: helping others.
