How the system was built

2019 · The wake-up call

Stuck, out of shape, and done with it

Stuck in a lousy relationship, working for the weekends in a small town, I woke up one day and decided I'd had enough. I packed my bags and headed to Jacksonville, Florida, for commercial diving school. Day one started with 5 a.m. workouts — and the swimming drills hit me hard. That was the wake-up call.

Four months that changed the trajectory

Daily gym sessions, a cleaned-up diet, and a two-mile run before every workout. The four-month program was brutal, but I dropped from 230 lbs to 165 lbs. After graduation I landed a job inspecting nuclear plants — diving underneath reactors — and stuck to the routine even after long shifts.

Too skinny — so I built it back lean

Three years of travel later (and meeting my future wife on a plane ride home for Christmas), I'd dropped to 155 lbs — too skinny. So I rebuilt: 35 lbs of lean muscle, this time with a real understanding of macros, training, and food that actually tastes good.

Cooking became the mission

During the rebuild I discovered a love for cooking food that's good for you and tastes amazing. I'd cook for my wife, she'd love it, and I realized how much I enjoy helping people. Hunt4Shredz exists to show you that healthy, delicious cooking at home is simple — and that the key to eating well is just being ready. Say goodbye to last-minute takeout decisions.
