Sharing some facts about me:
💚 My name is John! I was born and raised in Gainesville Florida.I moved to Tampa Florida this week!
💚 I am 30 years old and have been vegan since I was 13 and bodybuilding since I was 15!
💚 I originally went to school from Criminal Justice. I wanted to be a cop, and graduated from the police academy. I worked 3.5 years as a corrections officer. 
💚 My first corporate job was in Plano, Texas working for JCPenney at their corporate office. This was also the first time I ever began any entrepreneurial endeavors and wrote my online cookbook: Healthy, Easy, Vegan (link is in my bio!)
💚 Just prior to COVID in 2020 I moved back to Gainesville and was promptly laid off from my new job when the state shut down. This was THE BEST THING that ever happened to me. I found part time work with my future business partner @doyouevenjeep and we created @w8train_official and later @athclity.co
💚 I am working towards becoming the first Vegan IFBB Pro Bodybuilder. 
💚 I eventually met @burnitbrent and in 2022 his charity @onetosavemany was born. This has been so influential for me, because I had never donated to any cause in the past. Now I like to purchase a few @onetosavemany shirts each month as a way to give back! All profits go to animal shelters. 
💚 I have coached over 100 clients and coaching is my full time job! I am also lucky enough to have some sponsors along the way who allow me to continue this lifestyle:@truenutrition @nocow
💚 I am constantly seeking to Have The Best Day Ever #HTBDE and have this tattooed onto my arm to remind me for the rest of my life. 
💚 My dad was just diagnosed with Leukemia, and to me, this reminds me that each day is a gift, take none for granted. 
💚 So, follow along, DM me if you have any questions, I reply to every one. And, remember, YOU are the CEO of your own life, so make sure to have the best day ever! 💚💚
