I was scrolling through some old photos and I found this shot from 2015.
In 2014 I took two years off of tech to work full time in the performing arts—coaching aerial classes and working as a vertical rope performer, stage manager and tour manager.
This shot was taken just after a show. I was in the best shape of my life, and I don’t think I ever realized how strong I was. Even at the time, I thought I needed to train harder and do more. Now, I see this and I’m pretty proud of that beefcake.
