Tell us about yourself
In my senior year of high school, my athletic skillset made me convert from playing basketball to football. I earned a football scholarship to Central Michigan University. Through adversity and hard life lessons, I transferred to Henderson State University to finish my collegiate career. I attended two colleges and had a lot of success in the field but left with no degree. Shortly after college, I had to face reality and ask myself, how do I move forward and reach my full potential? I enrolled at Walden University to finish my degree online. At the same time, I was perfecting my craft as a personal trainer. This was hindered by working in gyms that cared more about the number of clients you signed up with rather than life-changing results. I went back to the CFL for the 2017 season. I played with the Calgary Stampeders and competed in the Grey Cup Championship. The season ended with me having reconstructive knee surgery due to an injury. This was a defining moment for me: Do I continue to help people reach their fitness goals or keep pursuing my professional football career? Fitness At Your Door was established in 2018. My passion for fitness goes back several years. What motivates me is seeing the success of all our clients and watching people turn their dreams into reality.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner is building Fitness At Your Door from the ground up and growing a team of over 100 highly qualified fitness professionals. Also, more than anything, having the opportunity daily to change the people's lives in my community.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Growing up, I have always been extremely hands-on with every task I came by. Therefore, when I started Fitness At Your Door, I tried to manage everything. From training, marketing, finances, etc. I ultimately resolved this obstacle by systemizing my business through VA's, marketing teams, sales representatives, and great trainers!
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
The top 3 tips I would give to anyone looking to start their own business would be: Always remain patient, systemize your business, and continue to learn how you can be better at what you do.
