"The Wealth We Build" I step into the room, heart open, mind set, "Chief Challenge Officer"—haven't met me yet? Santa Monica raised me, where the ocean meets the grind, San Diego State shaped me, but purpose fuels my mind. Doctorate in the books, but movement's my creed, Not just reps and sets—nah, it's deeper than speed. Purpose-driven fitness, where passion collides, With high performers like you, where ambition resides. Entrepreneurial spirit, a season of change, "TriumFit Challenge"—my vision rearranged. Not just dollars and deals, but growth in all ways, Health, impact, connection—where true wealth stays. And if you ask me what a "wealthy life" means, It's chasing big dreams, not just stacking the greens. So here's my first flex—let's make a bold scene, I'll know I made it when Engel Jones joins my team! A challenge for charity, a cause with some weight, Seven ways to give back—let's set the date. Because true wealth isn't measured in what we amass, But in lifting each other—now that's first class. Links

I'm a young, black man from the, not so nice, parts of Brooklyn, NY. I grew up 2 inches from being poor. I've been robbed, shot at, slashed, almost died 5+ times and still was able to pull myself out of the dumps, by God's grace. Where I'm from, no-one speaks about their mental health, how to increase your net worth, or even how to communicate effectively to get what and where you want. I had to learn and fight for this on my own. I've been blessed and protected by God to help people achieve the, perceived, impossible. I now coach people on how to practically achieve their goals and to stop just dreaming. We use communication, refined strategy, and relentless action to achieve anything. I teach my students about "Beam" focus and the damage they can deal to the obstacles in the way of their goals. LinkedIn
