I'm the owner and founder of Bulletproof Fitness LLC. 

My background consists of 10 years of military service in the US Marine Corps as an 0321, 8 years of private security work overseas as a contractor, and Certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach.   

My Story:

Coming home after nearly two decades in the military and contracting overseas, the only thing that was familiar to me was the gym and gun range.  Like many transitioning veterans I struggled to adapt and find my place.  Already dealing with chronic back, knee, and arthritis pain, I started developing all new physical, mental, and cognitive issues-along with an identity crisis.  

I tried to snap out of it by getting back in shape with gym sessions and a couple fad diets, but nothing worked.  The VA’s solution was mostly pills yet my blood markers kept getting worse.  At just over 40, I felt well into my 70s.  Then the VA discovered through an MRI that I had damage to my frontal lobe, likely from years of hard parachute landings, whiplash, and explosives which over time can severely impact the nervous system and hormones. 

Feeling lost and all out of options, I swallowed my pride and hired a personal trainer who completely changed my approach.  In 2 months, I dropped 15 lbs of body fat and saw my biomarkers improve.  A few months in, I looked and felt as though I had regained the body of my glory days. But more importantly, I felt like me again.

Fitness after 40, especially with a vet bod, looks a lot different from my younger days.  With the experience and knowledge I have now, I want to help veterans and anyone in similar circumstances that feel lost or stuck with their health. 

If you’re struggling, you don’t have to go it alone.
