As I hangout in these final days waiting my next competition, I find myself very excited but also consistently looking forward. I’ve always had this idea of focus on the present, prep for the future. Overall I’m looking for the next few weeks and competing in these next two comps, getting the opportunity to set two state records and challenge a national record as well, and pushing my body in competition.

However, I’m always looking forward, and I have my mind set on 3 more comps later this year. I also have my eyes set on a new goal: traveling out to the Rogue Retail store to lift the replica Dinnie stones. I’m very excited to lift them, and have begun my prep already.

However, I want to outline my next goals in Strongman, which is to go to the next step. To start that next step, I plan on competing in the Natural Strongman Regional Qualifiers in 2026. I’m debating on East Coast or Midwest, because I’m basically right in the middle. My next goal is to compete up in Canada. Canada also has a great Strongman scene and hosts a fair good bit of competitions. I’d like to get the experience of competing in another country, and making a vacation out of it as well. There’s so many cool comps up there and without revealing my location completely, traveling there is not that far of a drive. Something like New Brunswick’s or Nova Scotia’s Strongest would be really, really cool to compete.

Ultimately, I want to take the sport as far as I can go. I don’t know how far that is and I know it on it’s own will never be my career. But I’m excited to keep pushing my limits, keep moving forward, and getting stronger everyday.
