Health and fitness have been a lifelong passion of mine. Growing up, my parents were both avid fitness enthusiasts who owned a nutrition store—my first job—where I gained a wide range of knowledge about health and sports supplements.

Being involved in sports and always striving to improve is what originally led me to begin my fitness journey. I fell in love with chasing progress and seeing the results that came from hard work. The more effort I put in at the gym, the more it translated to better performance on the field, both in football and baseball.

Training also became an outlet for me—a way to relieve the stress of life. When things felt out of control, the weight room became my sanctuary. It was the one place where I could control key variables like effort, discipline, and consistency. Whenever I gave it my all, I saw results—and that gave me a deep sense of accomplishment.

After my time in sports, I became an EMT-B and pursued a nursing education because I had a passion for helping others. Working in hospitals and nursing homes, I saw firsthand how many chronic health issues could have been prevented with healthier lifestyle choices. That realization pushed me to shift my focus: I wanted to help people make changes before they ended up in a hospital bed.

I began working at XSport Fitness to start that mission, and while there, I also started competing in bodybuilding. I lived the lifestyle—meal prepping daily, training consistently—and people around me started noticing. They would comment on how good my food smelled and began asking if I could cook for them. That was the spark that ignited Ironmade.

I started cooking for other trainers and their clients, which eventually led me to leave the gym and go all in on my business. Today, I continue growing the Ironmade Fitness And Meal Prep brand while also training clients and offering nutritional guidance.

I’m on a constant mission to help as many people as possible become the best, healthiest versions of themselves.
