Before the muscle

DJing was my entire identity.

Let me take you back. Before the muscle. Before the mindset. Before REEWORK ME ever existed, I was a turntablist at 15. By 16, I was DJing in 21+ clubs with Power 106.

I was living "the life." Eating anything. Drinking everything. Sleeping all day. I was over 400 pounds, and DJing was my entire identity.

The shift

"Just let me rot."

In 2012, my dad, my superhero, had a stroke. Paralyzed. Six months to live.

He was giving up. He told me, "Just let me rot." And I started slipping into that dark hole with him.

I snapped. I read, I learned, I fought. I changed his meals and challenged him daily. The man who wanted to rot started walking again. He lived 3 more years.

That season broke me open. DJing didn't feel the same anymore. I found clarity in the gym. It gave me control. It gave me me back.

Today

You're not starting over.
You're starting new.

Today, I'm 36. Married 17 years. 3 kids. Still DJing, but fueled by a new mission: REEWORK ME.

I've watched diabetics drop insulin and parents regain their lives, because I lived it. I know what it's like to start from zero.
