10 years ago I wasn’t sure if I would die or not. I was living my dream as a professional BMX athlete at the young age of 21 when I was told I may lose my life from a massive brain tumor that was found accidentally after a crash during an off-season training day.
After a 6-hour brain surgery, leaving me with 75 staples, 16 stitches, and 4 titanium screws in my skull, I woke up grateful to be alive along with a whole new perspective on life.
I saw the surgery as a way of preserving my life so I could continue riding my bike for a living as I dreamed of as a child.
Little did I know, this was my initiation to transform my entire being, inside and out, and how I showed up in life given this second chance at living.
I began auditing who I was, what choices I was making, how I could optimize my choices to better my life, what I wanted my life to be like, and who I wanted to become. During that process, I found the power of our conscious choice in mindset and the ketogenic diet and lifestyle from the perspective of prioritizing my brian’s health, resilience, and performance so I could ensure my best attempt at becoming a high-performer in all areas of my life.
I used to identify as a pro BMX athlete and multiple brain tumor survivor. Today, even though I live with 4 brain tumors, I identify as someone striving to improve the lives of others around me and live my life to the fullest while giving as little focus and energy to the unwanted masses in my brain. I have created a daily practice of auditing my thoughts, choices, and actions so I can show up as my best self to follow my higher purpose of inspiring others to shift their perspectives, discover their full potential and create the lives they want.
My favorite part of my journey is learning the importance of becoming conscious. This consciousness has transferred to all areas of my life with a higher sense of self-awareness and it’s allowed me to improve my efforts in serving others.
I want to thank you all for the love, support, push to become better, willingness to reach out and share your stories with me, and for believing in my message and efforts to change how we live our lives.
