How is behind the scenes like, the journey that developed you into who you are? What does it take to be as successful? A lot goes on behind the scenes that people don't really see, it's a lot of training and dedication. You have to wake up every morning and work hard. I've been in the fitness industry for many years and the journey I took to become who I am today is honestly like the dedicated training I go through every day and to become successful I think it takes a lot of perseverance, you have to be willing to get back up no matter how many times you fall. I think this is the key to becoming successful in not just the fitness industry but in anything that you do. 2. Tell us about yourself. What is it you consider your strengths, and what do you consider your weaknesses? Well I've been in the fitness industry for 14 years and I feel like I have honestly done it all, I've gone from personal trainer, to pro body builder, to sponsored athlete, to body building prep coach and owner of Pro-level fitness. The one aspect about myself that I would consider a strength would be my mental toughness, it's taken me many years to condition my mind to be able to perform at a pro level. It has helped me develop an incredible work ethic, I won't stop until the task at hand gets done no matter how hard it may be or how long it takes me, I will get it done. As for weaknesses, well I have too many to mention but I always make it a priority to turn my weaknesses into strengths. 3.
