Tell us about a challenge you have overcome — personal or professional!
In 2021, I competed in a natural bodybuilding show, and I took first place. Training for the competition was a second job — from working out twice a day to dieting and posing at the end of the day while selling real estate full time.
In 2022, I attempted to break the world record in pull-ups, and I did fail during that attempt. I learned a lot throughout the years, and I’m always trying to grow and get stronger, physically and mentally.
Tell us one thing you can’t live without (family & phones don’t count)!

Who do you admire and why?
