The Creation of Become Weightless
2018-2021
Fire & EMS - Early Service
I started my career in emergency services as a 911 dispatcher, firefighter, and EMT. Serving others during their hardest moments gave me discipline, perspective, and a passion for health.

Coast Guard Corpsmen
I joined the U.S. Coast Guard to pursue my dream of becoming a rescue swimmer. During training I was diagnosed with thrombocytopenia and disqualified from aviation — but I pivoted, serving as a medic and learning resilience in the face of setbacks.

Hybrid Athlete & Challenges
Outside of service, I pushed myself through endurance and strength challenges that tested both body and mind. Completing an Ironman and 100 consecutive Murph workouts taught me what it means to suffer with purpose and build true grit. I also took on the 4x4x48 Challenge annually — running 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours — to raise money for Special Olympics New Jersey.
Each of these challenges wasn’t just about finishing, but about proving that resilience, discipline, and service can transform suffering into strength.

The Birth of Become Weightless
Through it all, I realized the biggest weight isn’t just physical — it’s mental, emotional, and spiritual. Become Weightless was created to give people the tools I wish I had earlier: labs to uncover hidden barriers, fitness to build strength, nutrition for energy, and mental health support for resilience.
