What is Forged Passion?

Forged Passion is the strengthening of passion over time for what we believe in and who we want to be. Forged Passion is embracing our individuality created through adversity and challenges we face in life to become what we never imagined we could. Forged Passion is believing in ourselves when others wouldn’t and triumphing when they said we couldn’t. Forged Passion is about becoming the very best version of ourselves. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Forged Passion Mission

Creating a platform that brings people together from all walks of life to inspire and energize one another through examples of determination and grit that ultimately lead to success. That is our mission.

Whether you’re a professional athlete, first responder, office worker, teacher, stay at home parent, or one of a million other things, chances are someone or something in your life helped determine the path you would ultimately take. Hopefully, the force that molded you was positive and with love. For many, we are greatly impacted through adversity such as bullying, being born with a disease or being faced with an addiction. It is these things we all experience, good or bad, that establish opportunity in our lives to create a positive outcome for ourselves and others if we only take the time to take recognize and embrace those opportunities we have before us.

STRENGTH is the product of struggle, you must do what others don’t to achieve what others won’t.

I will always see myself differently when I look in the mirror, and not because I look different but because I am different -- I'm a fighter, a survivor, I'm stronger, even wiser. So for me, fighting cancer actually gave me more than it took -- it forced me to relinquish control so that God could move, so He could bless me with a new and improved perspective, and so He could heal me in places I never could have reached on my own.
