when it came time to expand, i wanted the heart of why i started this place to become as clear as possible. i was a deeply insecure kid. i struggled with my weight my entire life and growing up i always felt singled out because i was the big kid. i had an artistic mind and temperament in a large body that on the outside was meant for sports, but on the inside, i wanted to think, create and explore.
as time went on, i chose to hide behind my stature and water myself down because i felt it took a target off my back and i was able to live my life in relative peace, or so i thought.
fast forward a decade and the desire to be seen and known caught up with me. i felt like my body had become a cage and that i couldn’t break free of the identity i had created for myself.
activevirtue is a window into my soul. it was the vehicle in which i decided i would rebuild and rediscover who i am. and it is my desire that i can offer up a space for you to do the same should you find yourself wanting.
i believe that health, strength and vitality is for every person. no matter what life has thrown your way, there’s always a choice to be made in how we handle our circumstances.
i’m excited to see you all here in a few short months.
