I am a 24 year old personal trainer and fitness fanatic. I have come a long way in my lifetime. Growing up my family had little to nothing. We lived check by check and were greatful for what we had. Because of this I was forced to grow up much faster than most. To some friends i was a big brother. To my siblings, i WAS a big brother. When i was about 16 years old three good friends of mine died in horrible car accidents. Soon after i hit a great depression and lived a very unhealthy lifestyle. I partied and partied until i hit about 225 lbs. I wasnt huge, but i wasnt healthy either. I was painting my living room with a good friend of mine one day and it was the hottest summer we had in a long while. The AC in the house just wasnt cutting it! My friend and i were soaked and i was embarrased to work with my shirt off to cool myself down. I was 19 at the time. My friend would bust my balls about it for the rest of the day and i finally took a look at myself and got sick of the lifestyle i was living. I said to him, "Travis... I am going to change. Just wait. One year from now you will see me and i will be healthy and ripped." A year later he saw me and i was down to 190 lbs and i was fit, but i wasnt satisfied. From that day on i worked my ass off and motivated myself to live a healthier lifestyle and push myself to reach goal after goal. Here i am today standing at 189 lbs and about 8 or 9% bodyfat and i am still pushing myself. You might wonder what my new goal may be? Well, im going to tell you. I want to inspire people with my results and passion for fitness to revolutionize their life. I want to motivate those who dont think they can do it. I want to show them that obstacles can be overcome, no matter what they may be. There is much more to my story. Much more that will allow people to think, "wow... if he can do this... why cant i?" They will be moved and they will be inspired to lead a healthier and happier life!

Today, Sunday May 20th at 1AM a drunk driver rear ended me and my girlfriend, sending us into the guard rail and spiraling to a halt. Did the seat belts save our lives? Yes, probably. Cars flew by doing 80, nearly pummeling our totaled car. I grabbed my girlfriend and carried her away from the crash. No more than 2 minutes later, 2 more cars smashed into our car. No seat or luck could have allowed us to walk away from what happened nearly unscathed. The fact we hit the first 50ft of guard rail instead of going straight into the woods doing 55mph was not luck. We had people looking after us. Our passed friends and family wouldnt let us get hurt. I will live a beautiful and happy life. I took this as a life lesson. Never take it for granted. It could end in a heart beat. Jon... thank you my ruca. I will let your legacy shine on forever. I will make you proud
