I feel blessed, everyday, to have found
strength training. If I didn't have this
passion, I'd be in big trouble.
I wasn't a great high school student and
I eventually stopped going to high school.
So I was lost for several years before I
actually got focused. For me, Texas A&M
felt like a last opportunity. So I told
myself that if I can get in the school
that I was actually going to apply
myself. I got really good grades and in
one semester, I think I took maybe the
hardest classes you can possibly take
all in one semester. And, my professors
awarded me the kinesiology student of
the year. For me it was everything
because I had been an underachiever my
entire life.
So when they awarded me that award, it
gave me a confidence that I still kind
of walk around with. I feel like people
spend a lot of money to train with me
personally. If you're spending that type
of money to train with somebody you have
got to know what you're talking about.
So, for me the education I acquired at
Texas A&M-San Antonio set me apart
from your typical personal trainer,
easily. The people that comprise Heavy
Metal come from all walks of life. We
have doctors here,
a lot of military here, a lot of police
officers here, a lot of college students
here. We have world champion powerlifters
that train here. If I didn't go to Texas
A&M-San Antonio I wouldn't have this gym
right now. I just wouldn't.
