Who am I and how did MPX evolve?
When I look back at my personal and professional development, there isn’t a particular event or turning point that lead me down the path I am currently traveling today; but a series of life experiences, challenges, successes and phases which have helped me grow along the way. As a young child, my parents quickly instilled the importance of a strong work ethic through household and farm chores. Through the years, chores were a given, on top of the desire to excel in numerous sports as a high school and tri-sport collegiate athlete. My involvement in sports still continues as a professional MMA fighter and boxer, but has also transpired into the importance of connecting the mind, body and spirit not only in myself, but others. Life is a gift that many take for granted, or play victim to their life circumstances. Every single person on this Earth has experienced high and low moments, but the warriors, the warrior mindsets CHOOSE to learn from their experiences, so they can help others RISE. My life is far from picture perfect, and that’s why I feel it is essential to share my story. I have experienced abuse, I have experienced loss and what I can tell you is this... it may have broken me in those moments, but it did NOT stop me! I now own my story and thankfully have been provided the opportunity to help others find, define and own theirs. If you want something in life, take your foot off the brake and put it in drive. That my friend is a choice, YOUR CHOICE, so I look forward to seeing you on the path towards enlightenment soon.
