Miami Beach,FL
Summary
I grew up in Jerusalem, Israel.
Born in a diverse family, American father and South African mother. We are a family of 4 siblings.
Life wasn't easy and as a teenager in high school i had to work to help support my family financially.
After High school, i joined the military and went through the combat soldiers program, 6 months boot camp and 8 more months of combat training for my SF regiment in the border police of the IDF.
At the end of my service i served as chief of staff to my unit's commander.
i always wanted more for myself, so the day after i was honorably discharged, I was on a one way flight to the US to conquer the Americana dream.
i worked in sales of beauty products, hair tools allover the country until i finally opened my own business.
while growing and managing my business i went to a physical education school and graduated as a personal trainer.
recently i have decided that im ready for the next challenging chapter of my life and sold my business.
