Raised in East Palo Alto, California, he grew up in a community where opportunities were limited and the path to success was far from guaranteed. Despite those challenges, he found direction and discipline through sports. From an early age, he immersed himself in baseball, football, and track, competing throughout high school and continuing his athletic career in both football and track at the collegiate level.

In 2017, after becoming a husband and father, his vision expanded beyond personal success. He developed a deeper purpose—to create opportunities for young athletes who share the same passion he once had. Understanding firsthand how sports can transform lives, he founded TCIII Foundation with the mission of guiding youth toward success both on and off the field.

His passion extends far beyond physical training. Whether in the gym, on the field, or through mentorship, he is committed to developing the complete athlete—instilling discipline, confidence, and a strong mindset. He believes true success is built not only through performance, but through character, accountability, and personal growth.
