About Me

My Story: From Rock Bottom to Next Level

My journey into strength began over 12 years ago—as a 16-year-old kid in Bogotá, Colombia, feeling the weight of insecurity, bullying, and self-doubt. I grew up overweight, and for years, I felt disconnected from my body and my power.

 

On January 1st, 2012, I made a vow to change—not just how I looked, but how I lived. I lost 65 pounds in six months through relentless discipline, cardio, and a strict diet. But I quickly realized: transformation is about more than fat loss. I was thinner—but still felt small, both physically and internally.

 

That’s when I turned toward muscle, strength, and structure. I began weight training 5–6 days a week at Bodytech. I fell in love with movement. I devoured everything I could about fitness, physiology, and nutrition. And in the process, I discovered something deeper—training as a gateway to self-mastery.

 

While studying at UCF, I became a certified personal trainer through NASM. Over the past decade, I’ve worked with people of all ages and backgrounds—guiding them to reclaim their strength, build confidence, and create habits that last.

​

I’ve trained at YouFit, LA Fitness, GymGuyz, Blink Fitness, and as a Fitness Director at UCF. I’ve competed as a USAPL and WRPF RAW Powerlifter, and now as a competitive NPC Classic Physique Bodybuilder—with top placings in multiple shows. But the external achievements are only one layer.

​

What truly shaped me were the setbacks...

Injury, loss, emotional pain—they’ve all been part of the path. But through Shadow Work, Stoicism, and my belief in Omnism, I’ve learned to transmute pain into purpose.

​

This is what I now offer you:

A path to unlock elite strength, presence, and inner power—not just through reps, but through reconnection. Through embodied intention. Through becoming whole.

Are you ready to break your plateau and evolve into your strongest, most grounded self?
