response on social media because I’m always trying to
promote positivity, well being and creativity. I love when I
am able to share my story with others, to let them know that
they can do anything they set their minds to.IM: Looking at your social media, it’s clear you also love
handstands. What do you love so much about them?
RD: I love the challenge they bring. I’m always trying to push
the limit with them, trying to get better and learn harder
things with them.IM: What are your fi tness goals?
RD: Some of the fi tness goals I have are being on the cover
of Iron Man magazine, expanding my personal training to
take online clientele and compete in a fi tness competition.IM: You won a competition sponsored by Kompetes to
get this shoot and feature interview. Please tell us why
you competed.
RD: I competed to win the competition because I have
always been a huge fan of Iron Man, and I wanted to test
my skills to see if I had what it took to win an online free-
style calisthenics competition. The process involved me
submitting my video online to the competition page. After
that there was a period open to allow people to vote for
you. When the winner was selected, Kompetes emailed me
letting me know I had been chosen as the winner! After that
I was in contact with them and they booked my fl ight and
hotel out to California for the photo shoot with Iron Man!
When we did the photo shoot it was such an incredible
experience. I had a makeup artist who also did my hair. She
was with me all day! I had a videographer and photographer
who were so awesome, too! It was such a great experience.IM: What was it like working with Kompetes in this con-
test? What else was involved?
RD: They were the ones who set everything up for me.... It
was such a pleasure working with them. They were also the
ones who paid me the cash prize as well. Initially I thought
the entire thing was too good to be true!AGE: 25
