Viva By Design was built from real experience.
My transformation from 289 lbs to 194 lbs taught me that lasting results don’t come from quick fixes, they come from consistency, structure, and nutrition.

​

I wasn’t always overweight. For a big part of my life, I was active, involved in sports, and connected to a disciplined lifestyle. But over time, I stopped prioritizing myself. Comfort became routine, and poor nutrition in excess led to low energy, less movement, and a life that started to feel heavier in every way.

There was a time when I was always tired, getting out of breath during simple activities, and constantly feeling uncomfortable in my own body. Eventually, I reached a point where I told myself: enough is enough, this is not who I am. That decision changed everything.

​

As a father raising daughters who are active in sports, I knew I had to become the example I wanted them to follow. I started to fall in love with the process, learning how nutrition impacts performance, energy, confidence, and the way we feel every day. I studied, prepared, and earned certifications to turn this passion into a purpose.

Today, I live an active and healthy lifestyle. I run, I train, I eat better than ever, and I truly enjoy the journey. Even more, I’m grateful to help young athletes who want a better future and are chasing big dreams.

​

I’m an AAU Basketball Coach and a Health & Performance Specialist, and I’ve heard the same things over and over:
Athletes want to play in high school, college, and even professionally, but most only focus on skill workouts and practices. The truth is, the athletes who separate themselves build the right pillars: nutrition, conditioning, and mindset.

I hear the same thing from adults too:
“I want a better body.” “I want my clothes to fit better.” “I want to look better.” But not enough people talk about what matters most, their health and creating a better lifestyle that lasts.

That’s why Viva By Design is not built on shortcuts or temporary motivation. Motivation fades. I believe in discipline, support, and respecting the process, because every journey is different, and every step matters.
