Levi grew up knowing fitness was a passion of his.

Needless to say, I have been obsessed with my health and body his whole life. He competed in Men’s Physique, winning best overall in every class last month (June 2018), he is a Powerlifter and world-class acrobat in the offseason. Levi still runs Tumble Smart, a gymnastics gym in Tulsa, OK where he teaches students how to become acrobatic ninjas.
