I remember back from 2010-2016 I was on my ass. Got taken down by kidney disease and was unable to work. All I did for income was hitting the streets with them Creepers. Not many people knew my pain, mentally, physically, or emotionally. However, I made it. Shout out to my home girl for putting me on to SCO. That took my career into education. 10 years later, I'm helping start a brand new Charter School in Hempstead, Long Island as the Director of External Affairs. Never put the dirt on your own coffin. It's not over until it's over.

I have to clear the air on one thing. I do not give free personal training sessions for a host of reasons. One, I'm a taxable business. Two, I am an insured business. And most importantly, the clients who I have trained for free, don't take anything serious. They show up when they want, eat how they want and when they don't get the results they want, it's always the trainers fault. If you want a free trainer who doesn't care about you or your health, please don't contact me. I am not for you. We work over here.
