Good evening/afternoon yall!
My name is Jacob and I have used this app since 2015 or 2016. Yet, I never knew there was this platform lol. I grew up in Northern California, lived in Oregon for a few years as well. I was a competitive swimmer up to the eighth grade. Played football and rugby up to the university level also. Currently, I am Active Duty.
I have loved fitness, sports and finding new personal bars since I can recall. (I am very competitive) in a healthy and positive way. π.
My story is quite long as I am sure we all have colorful backgrounds but with time Iβm sure Iβll share haha. (I can talk a lot.) Especially, about my career, I am very passionate about what I.
do. I have learned a lot through my journey from college athlete to active duty military. I went from 390lbs to 230lbs in 16 months. (Not fun, not safe at times but I was on a mission lol)
