I'm a mixed-race dude, so I've got a bit of everything going on - mom's Korean and dad's African American. Grew up in the city, had my share of tough times and street smarts. But I'm not all about being tough, either - I like to think I've got a good balance of humor and confidence.
After high school, I took a gap year and traveled through Europe, trying new foods and getting my sweat on with some locals who showed me the ropes (or should I say, the weights). When I came back, I started working out and training at the gym - that's when I discovered my passion for fitness. There's something about pushing yourself to new limits, you know?
Life hasn't been all sunshine and rainbows since then, either. I spent some time in the slammer (shocking, I know), but hey, it taught me discipline and perspective. Now I'm out here living life on my terms - cooking up a storm in the kitchen (my Korean momma's recipes are unbeatable), hitting the gym whenever I can, and traveling wherever the wind takes me. What about you? What's your story?
