About Me

In my past adventure with football from middle school to college, I have found that playing specific positions comes with responsibilities that can seem larger than life itself. Growing up a larger child and playing football meant that I was destined for the offensive/ defensive line. A destiny that presents a plethora of dietary and health hazards. By the age of 12, I was already having multiple blood tests taken a week due to the high glucose levels found in my blood, regularly visiting a dietician and nutritionist due to my elevated triglyceride levels, and altering my diet to that of a rabbit to lose weight that I had gained in part to my responsibility of an offensive lineman. Today, I am hear to tell you that this no longer has to be part of anyone's life. Eating the correct balance of healthy foods can give any athlete what he or she needs on and off the field.  Ultimately, the mission of this blog is to promote a healthy lifestyle among offensive lineman by radically altering their dietary habits and nutritional needs.

After quitting the team at Texas Tech due to a back injury I followed my own advice and lost over 80 pounds and felt better than I ever have before. However, if I had only known this nutritional information before my injury had occurred, the chances of myself still playing would undoubtedly be in my favor. Within the game of football, staying healthy is essential and will only keep you from progressing to the next level.

This is me at my heaviest while playing football at Tech, weighing in at 310 pounds at 6 foot 4.

After losing 80 pounds at a healthier 230 pounds.

Today, I am currently enrolled at Texas Tech University pursuing a degree in pre-medicine. With the aspirations of playing in the NFL gone, I can know focus on what I really want to do in life. Helping people in any way, shape or form has always been an enormous part of my life, and I believe that this is why I am here today. With my educational background, I intend on helping athletes succumb their dietary struggles and persevere to success.
