Do something every day that brings you one step closer to your goals.
I have nothing to hide and no lies to tell…
I’ve been through a lot, done a lot, and made some outstanding changes in the person I was and who I am now.
To get to where I am I had to be who I once was!
20+ years of loving the iron! You could say I’ve been at this for a while.
I probably live up to a majority of the stereotypical “White Boy” from the hood scenarios… I hung out in the projects, I sold drugs, I carried guns, I protected myself and lived a crazy life!
I won’t provide too much self-incriminating information about my past, however, I will let your mind wonder!
Without going too deep into the description, trust me when I say my life is something similar to movies you’ve watched! Since the movie 4 Brothers came out, Bobby Marcer became a nickname…
Growing up in Detroit, Michigan I had some fun in our local neighborhoods!
At 13 years old I was hitting the bench press and squat rack probably more often than some do in their 20’s and 30’s.
I took vitamins and smashed soybean burgers almost daily.
I wouldn’t be who I am If anything about my past were different!
Homeless as a teen living in an abandoned house, and staying in homeless shelters, SURVIVING is what my life was for a while.
Went through the system, put on assisted living, adoption, etc etc etc…
I fought a lot growing up, and I never gave up through it all, which is why I think being in the Military was easy for me. Deploying was no big deal when you have nobody to miss!
In 2010 I was 21, this was the first time I met my biological mother and brother. Met a sister at 16 and another at 18.
My home life was never the greatest but it was also not the worst!
When I think about my past- the only thing that is for certain is that my family will never be as broken as my childhood was!
There is so much I could talk about and explain, but quite frankly there are so many things that are better left in the past and unsaid.
Time flies and the life I live now is a direct reflection of never quitting. No matter the circumstances, I always kept moving forward!
As much as I have learned I have more knowledge to gain!
Health, fitness, nutrition, and Training is something that will never be left in the past!
@totalflexgym might be a “new” gym and business but it’s always been an idea in the back of my head. The future only knows what happens next!
When you see the flags at Total Flex Gym, know that they aren’t there just for decoration!
It’s not just to cover the walls! They are there because of the RESPECT that I have for the people who represent them! 1st responders- Police, Fire/EMS, Nurse, Military/Veterans are those who are willing to not only stand up for others but save them in the time of need!
My personal Military experience gave me a BROAD RANGE of skills in my near 5 years of active duty service in the Navy. I’ve been in the position to not only save people but to protect them. I’m willing to risk my own health and life to help YOU! I do what I do because I feel like the lesser of the mentally and physically strong NEED those who are STRONG to HELP THEM!
Since the beginning of opening TFG, I have said, We Are Who We Are Because Of What We Do. I intend to do nothing but continue to help those who need help! Our main focus is and always will be, to give back to the community and help where we can. This is what Total Flex is about, helping when and where it’s needed!
