Over the past three years, I committed to a significant physical transformation, losing over 240 pounds through disciplined training, nutrition, and lifestyle changes. This journey required consistency, mental resilience, and accountability qualities essential to the fire service.

I continue to maintain a high level of physical readiness aligned with the demands of the firefighter job.
