Meet your coach

Hi, I'm Chad.

I'm a firefighter and an EMT. By choice and calling, I help you build the strength to rise.

My story

I grew up in Orlando, where nothing came easy — and that shaped everything.

The Biggest Loser was the moment I felt the calling. I dedicate my life to fitness and nutrition.

At 18, while I was still in high school, I became a certified personal trainer. That was 2008. I went straight from high school to Liberty University for a criminal justice degree.

Before COVID hit, I was at my best — disciplined, fueled right, and built from the ground up.

Then came COVID. My family was TOLD to say their goodbyes to me over FaceTime. But I did NOT say goodbye.

I came out of it carrying 70+ pounds of fat and water weight, and I was in a severe depression. My faith and my family carried me through.

Then God called me to be a firefighter. I had zero experience. My first day on the job was my first time on a fire engine. Today I am a certified EMT and firefighter.

The grace of God transformed my life.

Christ is King

No shortcuts. No steroids. Just real food, relentless training, and proof you can see.
