In 1990, I began my career as a firefighter, a job that demands physical strength, sharp focus, and unshakable commitment. Back then, I weighed just 137 pounds and quickly realized that I was nowhere near the level of fitness required to protect others, let alone myself. The turning point came when I decided to take responsibility for my health and performance by hiring a personal trainer, Frank Modine. Frank was confident, maybe too confident, but he pushed me past my limits.

At first, I hated weight training. I faked it until I made it. But over time, something changed. I didn’t just gain muscle, I gained purpose. I now weigh 198 pounds, and fitness has become a true passion of mine, not just a necessity. My journey from underpowered rookie to dedicated fitness advocate is what drives me every day at Ultra Fit.

I understand what it’s like to start from zero. I understand what it takes to transform. And now, I help others do the same.
