"I was working at UPS for about 5 years. I started out as a package handler loading almost 1,000 packages a day for about 2 years, transitioned over to the management side for another 3. I wasn’t happy and it was noticeable, especially to my wife. One day she told me “if your not happy at work, just quit and do something you love.” I knew I liked working out and I knew I loved interacting with people but I didn’t want to become a personal trainer. My wife suggested PT. I knew nothing about it! Did some research looked around and stumbled upon a program at a school near where I lived. Now mind you I was a HS dropout making it through life with a fake diploma. Kinda needed something legit to enroll into a program like a PTA one. Ended up getting my GED in my early 30’s enrolled into that program and took a leap of faith with my wife. I graduated in 2020. Unfortunately I did not succeed in passing my boards the first time, or second or third!!! I couldn’t bare to see another big red X when opening that fsbpt website, and I didn’t! With the help of Briana and PTA elevation and the support of my family and friends. I was finally able to pass that exam, get my license and have the career I’ve been dreaming of to support my family!"
