Over the past 12 years, I have gone from an athletic build to buff to skinny fat to shredded. During my skinny fat phase, I was in University for Chemical Engineering and was in the worst shape of my life. I spent a year struggling deeply with my confidence, fitness, and nutrition. In my last semester of University, I found the proper balance in my nutrition, exercise, and life. I put on a good amount of muscle and lost the fat for good while training 4-5x per week, eating the foods I love, and living my best life.

In 2020, the pandemic forced most people to work from home, causing widespread challenges to health and fitness. While working full-time in engineering, I managed to maintain my healthy habits and decided to help others do the same during this trying time. As my reputation grew, I founded LYL Academy in August 2020, with the mission of improving people's health and self-confidence. 

For the following year, I juggled my full-time engineering job with building LYL Academy on the side. In October 2021, I decided to fully commit to LYL Academy, stepping away from my engineering job to make a greater positive impact on people's lives.

Fast forward to today, I am proud to have helped hundreds of people completely transform their lives through fitness, nutrition, and support. But I’m not stopping here. My next step is to build my own team, aiming to extend this positive impact to over a thousand people’s lives.
