Full Biography
WideBlaze knows what it's like to live in a bigger body and want more out of life.
He grew up in a world of diets and promises. From childhood fad diets to popular weight-loss programs and eventually weight-loss surgery, he spent much of his life searching for something that would work. And sometimes, it worked remarkably well. He lost a whole person's worth of weight more than once and reached his target weight multiple times.
But none of those successes provided the permanent fix he'd hoped for. And reaching a goal weight didn't automatically create the life he'd daydreamed of.
Six years ago, he decided to build his own approach. He studied the science, explored different training and nutrition strategies, and tested what worked in his own life. He even drew a map with several mountains to climb. The first was weight loss. The others represented changes he wanted to make once he'd finally conquered that first mountain.
He made progress. He made mistakes. Some experiments worked beautifully; others failed spectacularly. Over time, he began stripping away complexity, keeping what worked and what he could actually sustain.
But a familiar pattern kept showing up. A setback could turn into weeks or months off track. And even when things were going well, the life he wanted remained on hold, waiting for him to finish losing weight.
He began questioning more than the methods. He started questioning the stories he'd been telling himself, and what he counted as proof that they were true. When success depended on a number on the scale, a setback could undermine the whole story. He needed a different story, one he could prove through his own actions, even when things didn't go to plan.
That changed what he was building. Weight loss and strength still mattered, but they were no longer the primary mission. He needed an approach that could survive setbacks, one he could make his own, and a life that included adventure, fun, challenge, belonging, and meaning along the way.
Living had to start today.
Today, WideBlaze is the creator of BIG to Strong, a movement for people who know life in a bigger body and want to build a life with more possibilities.
What began as an effort to change his own life became something he wanted to share. He believes more people deserve the chance to discover what's possible in theirs.
Through BIG to Strong, he's inviting people to try something different, make it their own, and help shape the movement as it grows.
And yes, he still occasionally fails spectacularly. That's just part of the adventure now. The way forward can be playful, challenging, meaningful, and surprisingly fun.
