I made a decision in 5th grade. That decision changed my life forever. I remember sitting in the back of my music classroom waiting for my turn for “REJOICE” musical group tryouts. There was a huge line of middle-schoolers waiting to show off their charisma, and natural talent.

I have always been into fitness. I started weight lifting at 16 years old and I was addicted. I have worked out 5-6 days a week ever since!
