![]() ![]() This job brings me one step closer to accomplishing my goals. Having the autonomy to choose when and where I stop while I’m driving, with no one hovering over me, allows me the freedom of designing my life blueprint.

We’re back to teaching outdoors again, but still have a robust schedule of virtual workouts. The demand skyrocketed and we quickly expanded to all 50 states and 16 countries. Once the pandemic started and everything began to shut down, CG made a massive shift, almost overnight, to fully virtual live workouts for 22,000 existing members and 1,200 trainers. Camp Gladiator (CG) has been the perfect opportunity to run my own business and do what I love: training people outdoors. I wanted to run my own company and have the flexibility for our family. I had been in the corporate world for ten years, and once we started our family, I couldn't go back to a full-time crazy work schedule, so I really wanted to go into fitness which is one of my passions.

I play a small role in an extremely important industry. My family and other mentors throughout my life have made sure that if I set to do something, I do it with pride. I also liked the idea of someday being able to support my wife and kids with one job. With the workforce in the trades at an all-time low, I figured a licensed electrician should never be without a job. They were getting paid a lot more than I was making as a teacher and seemed to be stress-free. I was curious about becoming a union electrician after talking it over with a few friends in the trade. I was extremely stressed out at my former job as a special education teacher, so I started looking into other ways to make a living. “As an apprentice electrician for the union, there is a lot I love about my job: I love that I'm learning every day, I love that I am challenged every day, and I love that I get to be creative.
