Hi, I’m Otto!

You’re probably here wondering “Who does this guy think he is.” or “What does this guy have to offer to me?”. To that, I offer you my history. Below you will find a detailed account of my struggles with life long obesity, body image issues, being homeless and developing an acute sense of introspection.

  • 1059.8 miles to be exact.

    My old self would be amazed. I used to get tired just walking upstairs, so biking this far seemed impossible. It took hard work and dedication to get here, and I hope to keep improving. Let’s dive in!

  • Since I can remember, I’ve struggled with weight. My whole family was obese, and my metabolism remained a mystical entity I had no control of. Believe it or not, the word “fat” was a cuss word in my mom’s house.

  • The first big change to my mentality was in 10th grade. I moved to Indiana a few years prior with my dad.

    I was convinced to join the wrestling team and after 3 years of hard work my body look entirely different.

    Confidence started to emerge.

  • After high school I thought I knew what I was doing, keto and running were my best friends.

    After my gf at the time got an ankle injury, we both became sedentary, and the weight packed back on.

  • After a break up, Cam and I devised a plan to race each other to 225 lbs bodyweight. This is when I started posting my first YT videos on a different channel. This sparked everything that followed

  • I beat cam to 225 lbs and i didnt stop there. I kept going and learning. Weighing my food and studying nutrition and weightlifting.

  • After a bad doctor visit, my dad needed to lose weight or get heart surgery.

    I had already been maintaining 220lbs bodyweight for 2 years by this point so I offered to make his meals for him. He was hesitant at first but after seeing his progress he dove headfirst into this.

    After 6 months he was down 65 lbs. and the doctor was impressed by him. This is when I developed the “Eat More and Lose Weight eBook”

  • After years of YT challenges I decided to do my biggest one yet. To challenge myself and raise money for children in need.

    8 days of suffering to promote the needy and a strong mentality.

    2 months of editing the footage to produce an hour and a half long documentary.

    Lessons lived and ready for future lessons and growth.
