2005: The year I hit rock bottom.

It’s strange how life can fall apart all at once.

One day, I was holding it together. The next, I was standing on the scale, staring at a number I didn’t recognize — 260 pounds.

I should’ve seen it coming. Years of stress-eating, skipped workouts, and pretending I’d figure it out tomorrow had finally caught up with me.

My body was failing me. My confidence was shot. My energy was gone.

I was 60 pounds overweight and completely lost. If I didn’t figure things out now, I might never come back.

2006: The turning point.

There was no grand plan. No magical moment.

I just started cutting out everything that wasn’t working — the quick fixes, the fad diets, the all-or-nothing mindset.

I stopped trying to add more. I started subtracting.

I lost 60 pounds. Not overnight. Not with some crazy program. Just by sticking to simple habits that work.

Fast-forward to now.

I’m a father of two.

I run a successful fitness coaching business.

I’m in the best shape of my life.

Not because I grind harder. Not because I’ve hacked the system.

Because I removed the fluff.

Health isn’t about doing more.

It’s about cutting out what doesn’t serve you.

That’s the whole philosophy behind Cal Fit.

Most programs give you more rules, more stress, and more complexity.

I help busy parents cut the fluff and get real results — in less time, with less effort, without sacrificing their life in the process.

If you’re constantly running on fumes, spinning your wheels, and feeling like you’re getting nowhere — I get it.

I’ve been there. And I can tell you firsthand — there’s a better way.

Let’s have a chat. No sales pitch. Just clarity.

The answer is simple… I focus SPECIFICALLY on high-level executives who:

✔️ Lack time and cannot commit to going to a gym consistently

✔️ Whose metabolism and muscle mass is decreasing so they need a SMART training approach (Cut The Gut 30M workouts are our specialty)

✔️ Like to socialize and eat out with their friends and family and don't want to restrict the foods they love all the time

I know exactly what it takes to get you in the best shape of your life and maintain the results as a busy dad balancing a business with 150+ active members and 7 team members...

I have developed accountability and support systems so you have a clear structure and support system  behind you every step of the way
