Since my high school weight-training courses I always loved to lift weights, thanks to those courses I learned how to properly move my body in the gym in a meaningful way.

It was 2018-2020 when I stopped training completely and I have a core memory that haunts me to this day, looking at a picture of myself during 2020 and seeing these thin, frail arms. To be honest, that scared the shit out of me. 

I now have some personal training experience and a partial cert in nutrition, and plan on training for the rest of my life. I specifically practice eccentric resistance training and keep up with the latest studies on nutrition and exercise science. I try my best to make sure I'm following the current best practices for both of these fields, its fascinating how little we still don't know about the human body!

I post progress photos here to track how I change over the years. I used to do this on Instagram, but I don't really care to show this off constantly to everyone. I have stopped using traditional social media for a while now, but I will throw something up a couple times a year.

Having been out of the sport for over 8 years now, I picked up paintball in late 2024 and have been enjoying it since. A lot changed since I played, namely Camp Pendleton closed down its park, and only a few parks remain in southern California.

I am currently running an Etha 3M with a 14" barrel, have enjoyed it so far, especially with the speedster hopper. This setup has helped me compete with several electronic speedball players many times, I cant complain whatsoever. 

I mainly play woodsball and rec at either Velocity or Jungle Island parks.

Look for the cow-print headband!
