I was born in the Dominican Republic. I moved to Washington Heights with my family when I was very young. I was a very active kid growing up but basketball was always my passion. I spent countless hours training, practicing, and playing. I played for my schools and different leagues around New York City. To improve my game, I was introduced to the gym. At first, I felt a little out of my element but eventually I started to feel and see changes in my body and I instantly fell in love. There is no feeling in the world like lifting weights. The gym is more than just a place for shaping my body. It's my place of sanity and its where I alleviate my daily stress. Being given this opportunity to be a member of City Gym Boys means the world to me. I'm part of an organization that allows me to do what I love doing and intend on doing for the rest of my life. I look forward to inspiring many lives, like I've been inspired.
