It’s a fair question: "Why should I, a successful 50+ year old man, listen to someone half my age about getting my health in order?"

The answer starts with my dad.

He’s a lot like you. A successful physical therapist and business owner, a winner by any objective measure. But for most of my life, I watched him struggle in private. He was 60 pounds overweight, and I saw him get caught in the same trap so many high-achieving men fall into: the cycle of quick fixes. He’d lose some weight, but the approach was never built for his demanding life, so it never lasted.

He had all the knowledge in the world, he was a practicing physical therapist, after all—but he was using the wrong playbook.

Then, something changed. He hired a coach who understood his world. A coach who gave him a sustainable, science-backed system coupled with hands-on accountability. He lost the weight, and this time, it stayed off.

Watching his transformation, I didn't just see my dad get healthier; I saw the blueprint. 

Successful men don't fail at fitness because of a lack of discipline. They fail because they're given a playbook that doesn't account for their high-stress, time-scarce reality and they have no professional relationships for accountability in their health.

That realization became my life's work.

You could say this path chose me. Growing up with two physical therapists for parents, I was immersed in the science of the human body from day one. This wasn't just a career path; it was our dinner-table conversation. My own passion for elite performance was ignited on the soccer field, pushing me to not only train my body but to understand the science behind it. By high school, I was already deep into nutrition and strength training, learning from a mentor who was getting his CSCS.

The path seemed clear: follow in my parents' footsteps. I excelled, earning a guaranteed seat in a doctorate of physical therapy program before I even had my high school diploma. But when the time came, I made my first counter-intuitive decision: I turned it down to play collegiate soccer at John Carroll University. I felt I needed to understand peak performance not just from a textbook, but by living it.

College wasn't just about classes and soccer. It was about bridging the gap between theory and the real world. To pay the bills, I started personal training. This is where I met my first 100 clients and came face-to-face with the messy, frustrating reality of weight loss for everyday people.

At the same time, I was living a double life in the world of elite performance. I was working as an aide at a top-tier physical therapy clinic and assisting professional sports industry titans like Tim Robertson Jr. with pro athletes from the NBA and NFL. I was seeing the best-in-class science applied to the world's most elite bodies.

Then, a friend and I tried to start our own online fitness coaching business. We had the passion, but we made no money. It was a humbling failure, but that failure led me to two men who were already running a successful online company, Default Kings. I joined them to lead their client fulfillment.

This was the turning point. My role became so demanding and my passion for it so intense that I made my next big decision: I quit playing soccer. But I didn't leave the team. I took over as their strength and conditioning coach, immediately applying my systems at a high-level collegiate athletics program.

I was now standing at the intersection of all my experiences:

The clinical science from my upbringing and studies.

The elite strategies from working with pro athletes.

The real-world struggles from my 100+ personal training clients.

The operational demands of a successful online business.

I poured all of it into building a "fitness operating system" for our clients at Default Kings. A system designed for busy, successful men. It worked. The results were so transformative that my partners offered me equity. The catch? I had to drop out of college, just 30 credits shy of my degree and move to Florida to go all-in.

It was the easiest hard decision I've ever made. I saw the impact we were having. I was hooked.

We spent the next few years scaling that business, helping over 1,000 men lose a collective 10,000+ pounds and building a multi-seven-figure company. But even in that success, I knew there was another level to reach. I felt a calling to build something that was 100% my vision, rooted purely in my methodology.

That's why I founded Victory Fitness Company.

I amicably sold my shares to my partner to create a company singularly focused on one thing: The FOS Method

The FOS Method—my proprietary Fitness Operating System—is not another diet or workout plan. It is a complete behavioral operating system engineered specifically for high-achieving men over 50 who demand a strategic, sustainable, and final victory in their health.

It's the system I wish existed when I first started coaching. It's the system you deserve.
