Max is a powerhouse of talent and ambition. Not only did he conquer the soccer field during his time while playing in the club league at Wofford College, but he also delved into the fascinating world of bodybuilding. Max’s passion for the sport led him to explore its intricate connections to masculinity, sexuality, and genderization in his senior capstone project – a historiography of bodybuilding. Max took his dedication to the next level by competing in the prestigious NPC (National Physique Committee), making his debut at The Dutch Strength Upstate Classic in August 2022.

Max’s love for fitness extends beyond his personal achievements. Since 2019, he has been inspiring others as a personal trainer, sculpting bodies and transforming lives. His journey began back in middle school when he first set foot in Eclipse, where he discovered his true calling. Max founded the Wofford College Weightlifting Club, bringing together like-minded individuals in pursuit of strength and excellence. He is also the charismatic host of the “Let’s Talk 360” podcast. Here, he dives deep into the realms of mental health, fitness, and the rollercoaster ride of being a 20-something-year-old in today’s world. Before his days at Wofford, Max honed his soccer skills at Pace Academy.
