You see it all the time…
A scrappy kid, cleats digging into the grass, helmet a little too big, dreaming of making football last forever.
That was me. From the first moment I stepped onto the field, I was hooked…
not just on the game, but on the grind.
The discipline.
The sweat.
Football taught me about effort, but life had lessons of its own waiting.
The Knee Injury That Changed Everything
They say life can change in the blink of an eye.
Mine came with a gut-wrenching twist…
a knee injury that ripped apart more than just my ACL.
It shattered my plans,
sidelined my dreams,
and left me questioning my identity.
The first tear was hard.
The second? Brutal.
But by the third, it became personal.
These injuries weren’t just setbacks…
they were challenges thrown down by fate,
daring me to fight back harder each time.
Recovering from three ACL tears was like running a marathon with a weighted vest.
Each rehab session felt like a hill to climb.
But something surprising happened along the way.
While my body was healing…
my mindset was transforming.
That relentless grind to regain strength awakened a purpose bigger than myself.
My Founder Story: Discovering Resilience
By the time I’d endured six surgeries,
years of physical therapy,
and countless hours in the gym,
I realized something crucial…
fitness wasn’t just my escape…
it was my calling.
People started noticing my drive and asking for advice.
Suddenly, I wasn’t just the “always” injured athlete fighting his way back;
I was the guy people looked to for inspiration.
And that’s how “The Process” began.
Not with a slick business plan or a Silicon Valley pitch, but with a simple goal:
to help others find their strength and rewrite their stories,
just like I did.
Outrunning the Pain
Track became my therapy
But here’s the irony…
I didn’t start running track to win anything.
After each knee injury,
the track was my proving ground,
a way to rebuild my conditioning and endurance. Build up my stamina and grit.
While my teammates were out there chasing medals,
I was chasing the ability to run without pain.
Every practice left me folded over…
some even took me to my knees… crawling and losing my lunch😮💨.
But I didn’t quit.
I couldn’t quit.
Because quitting would’ve meant letting my injuries define me.
The Hidden Power of a Comeback
Turns out,
the grind teaches you things you can’t learn when you’re winning.
It taught me balance…
not just physically but mentally.
Push too hard, and you break;
hold back, and you become stagnant.
That balance is what I bring to my work today as a personal trainer.
My clients don’t just get workouts…
they get life lessons vetted in sweat and perseverance.
My Fitness Philosophy: Find A Way!
They told me to quit football after my third ACL tear.
My mom even asked,
“Are you sure this is worth it?”
My answer was simple:
They’d have to cut my leg off to make me stop.
That same unshakable resolve fuels every training plan I create.
I tell my clients,
“The obstacle isn’t the end; it’s the test.”
Whether it’s a weight you can’t lift or a fear you can’t face,
there’s always a way through.
You just have to want it badly enough.
A Decade of Lessons in Recovery
Spending nearly ten years in physical therapy shaped me as much as any coach ever did.
It taught me to see the whole picture…
to identify root causes of pain and imbalance,
and to prioritize longevity over short-term gains.
That’s why I earned my degree in Exercise Science and pursued NASM certifications, including Corrective Exercise Specialist.
My mission?
To help others achieve their goals without sacrificing their future health.
