A talented wide receiver, a quality playmaker, whose a high offensive threat. It l led him to playing professional indoor football for Tri-Cities Fever, Nebraska Danger and the Spokane Shock.
Like many athletes experience in retirement, Austin felt lost. He jumped straight into the workforce doing a 9-5 job before things in his life slowly began to spiral out of control. The drinking, poor eating habits, partying, etc. It all took a toll.
It was Christmas Day, 2016, where Austin got the wake up call he needed. After being arrested for a DUI and put off work not long after.
Depressed, hurt, lost, a DUI to pay for, a daughter to raise, no money and no job. He looked at himself in disgust as he had lost his way in life and was out of shape.
It was then Austin made the brave and courageous decision to change.

Forced to step up and make the changes that he and his family deserved. He gave up alcohol, drastically changed his diet and detoxed his body of all chemicals.
It took only three weeks and he had a six-pack and looked in better shape and condition. After five months of hard work and consistency, he was shredded like never before. Going from 18% body fat to 8%.
It gave Austin a new passion in his life, health and fitness.
