I am fighting because in my line of work I have the privilege of changing the lives of Charleston kids everyday by taking them on unbelievable adventures in nature. By fighting in The Battle On The Bricks I have the opportunity to change even more lives while being able to test myself physically and mentally at the highest level.

You are a very active person and make your health and wellness a priority.  While you played college basketball, this will be your first time boxing in a match.  How do you prepare for this?

I work out two to three times a day while working full time at Coastal Expeditions.

What is your normal training day look like?

5:00am – Strength training at Golds Gym in Mount Pleasant
7:30 am – 5:00pm Work at Coastal Expeditions
5:30pm – 7:00pm – Boxing training at Charleston Boxing Club

 What has been the most rewarding aspect of your journey?

The most rewarding aspect of taking on a challenge like this is proving to myself and everyone around me that If you set your mind to something you can do it regardless how your body may feel or what your mind is telling you. Throughout this process I have gotten into the best physical and mental shape of my life while losing 50 pounds and really learning the importance of how to properly fuel your body for performance.
