I grew up Catholic, attending Catholic school, but as I got older my family and I slowly drifted away from the Church. For years I lived without truly putting Christ at the center of my life. Everything changed when I met my wife—her faith helped bring me back, and the birth of our three daughters showed me the importance of being a strong Catholic man for my family.
Through them, I not only rediscovered the beauty of faith, but also the value of fitness. I’ve always been active in the military, but I knew I wasn’t reaching my full potential. When my wife was pregnant with our third daughter, I made a decision: I would commit fully to my fitness journey, striving to become the best version of myself for God, my wife, and my children.
So far, I’ve lost 43 pounds, and I’m not done yet. My journey is about more than just physical change—it’s about discipline, perseverance, and glorifying God through the body He has given me.
Stay fit. God bless.

Hi! My name is Brooke, and I’m a Catholic fitness creator passionate about bringing faith and movement together. I’ve been a dancer my whole life, and for the past 3 years I’ve been teaching barre while sharing workouts on my YouTube channel that celebrate the Saints, reflect on Scripture, and encourage others to glorify God through caring for their bodies.
My journey with modesty is what inspired me to start creating faith-filled workouts and building a space where fitness can be uplifting and rooted in Christ.
I’m excited to partner with Thorns Apparel as a THORNS Athlete, because their mission aligns perfectly with my own — living boldly and beautifully for Christ in everything we do.
