Born and raised in Washington, DC, Raine had big dreams of making it to the NBA. He got cut from his high school team—twice—but that didn’t stop him. He kept grinding and eventually earned a starting spot at the Division I level.

Along the way, Raine picked up the nickname “Old Man Raine” thanks to a long list of injuries: a broken hip, dislocated shoulders, and more than a few scars from the game. But the real battles weren’t just physical. He quietly fought through anxiety and periods of depression throughout his athletic career.

The one constant that kept him steady? Strength training. Lifting weights gave him an edge, helped him manage pain, and brought peace to a restless mind.

It wasn’t just about getting in shape—it was therapy. It helped him heal both physically and mentally.

Today, Coach Raine helps others do the same. He knows the power of strength—how it transforms your body, sharpens your mind, and builds resilience that lasts far beyond the gym. His mission is simple: help people become the strongest version of themselves, inside and out.
