One of the highlights of Cory's career was the opportunity to train alongside legendary bodybuilder Ronnie Coleman. This experience not only pushed Cory to new limits in his own training, but also provided him with invaluable knowledge and insights into the world of bodybuilding.
Today, Cory continues to inspire and motivate others through his work as a professional bodybuilder, motivational speaker, personal trainer, and nutritional adviser. His dedication to helping others achieve their fitness goals and live healthier lives is evident in everything he does.
