Q: How do you maintain a "NO BULLSHIT, no excuses" mindset while training on the go as a full-time pilot?

A: Honestly, it comes down to priorities. I don't let my schedule decide whether or not I train—I decide that. Being a pilot means early mornings, red-eyes, delays, time zones, all of it. But none of that changes the mission. I've trained in hotel gyms at 2 a.m., ran in too many cities to count, and done bodyweight workouts in my hotel room when I'm in a time crunch. It's not about perfect conditions; it's about showing up no matter what.

Q: How does your workout routine look different than when you're at home? How do you stay consistent when faced with challenges like delayed flights, limited equipment, or hotel gyms?

A: When I'm home, I can dial in structured sessions: long bike rides, long runs, open water or pool swims. On the road, I switch gears—shorter, more efficient sessions. I'll stick to running and lifting. If the gym's missing something, I improvise. The consistency comes from removing the option to make excuses.

Q: Training at your level with your schedule is already impressive. What drives your determination and keeps you motivated to pursue Ironmans and marathons?

A: For me, it's about seeing how far I can push my limits physically and mentally. I come from wrestling and weightlifting, so I've always been wired to chase growth through discomfort. Ironman training gives me that every single day. It's structure, it's purpose, it's discipline. It's also about showing people that even with a demanding career, you can still chase massive goals.

Q: What looks the same—or shifts—between a standard workout and preparing for an Ironman?

A: The mentality is the same—effort and focus—but the purpose changes. When I'm in Ironman prep, everything becomes intentional. Nutrition, sleep, recovery, pacing. It's less about "working out" and more about "executing a plan."

Q: How do you balance training for such long events with travel?

A: I plan everything around the flight schedule. Long sessions happen on days off, and shorter intensity work happens on layovers. I focus on making sure I get those long workouts done at home, and if I'm at work, I focus on running and lifting. The key is having structure before the week starts. Once I have the plan, I just get it done.

Q: You travel a lot. Where's your top place to run?

A: Honestly, anywhere it's cold. Your running performance drastically increases in the cooler weather and in Florida I rarely get to experience that.

Q: How does your gear impact your training and lifestyle?

A: Gear is everything when you live out of a suitcase. I need reliability. My shoes, clothes, and tech have to perform no matter the conditions—hot, cold, rain, 5 a.m. alarms. When you're pushing your body every day, your gear becomes part of the team.

Q: What does it mean to you to have trusted essentials that go the distance, no matter where your schedule takes you?

A: It means freedom. I can train anywhere and know my gear won't fail. When you trust what you're wearing, it's one less thing to think about. And when you're juggling flying and Ironman prep, that simplicity matters.

Q: What training essentials make it into your travel bag?

A: NOBULL Outwork and Allday shoes, Garmin watch, running shorts, and good pairs of socks. I always pack enough to cover cardio, strength, and mobility. No excuses, the mission travels with me.

Q: Describe your experience with NOBULL products.

A: NOBULL fits my lifestyle perfectly. Their stuff is built for people who don't need hype, just gear that performs. Whether I'm lifting, running, or traveling between flights, it's reliable and minimal, which matches how I live.

Q: Do you have any favorite gear for the gym? For everyday activities? For marathons or races? What's most important to you in performance gear—and how does NOBULL deliver it?

A: In the gym, I live in the NOBULL Outwork. For runs or travel days, I'll wear the Allday Ripstops. What matters to me is comfort, durability, and a clean look—no gimmicks. NOBULL nails that balance of performance and simplicity.

Q: What does it mean to you to wear NOBULL?

A: It's a mindset - no shortcuts, no excuses. It represents everything I believe in: hard work, consistency, and showing up when it's not easy. Wearing NOBULL isn't about the brand; it's about the standard.

Q: What does it mean to you to be able to inspire a wide and growing audience to take control of their fitness journeys?

A: It's the best part of what I do. Flying planes and racing Ironmans are cool, but watching people message me saying they started running or training because of my content? That's impact. I just try to show what's possible when you commit.

Q: What are you most proud of when it comes to the platform that you've built?

A: I really pride myself on sharing the real stuff: the travel fatigue, the early mornings, the long runs when I don't feel like it. That's what makes it relatable. But I also show the discipline, the progress, and the results, all of the stuff that's a little more aspirational. I'm most proud that my page has become a space where people feel motivated to raise their own standards, not just watch mine.
