John

I am an eight-year Army veteran where I was Sergeant of two deployments to Afghanistan. My path has been defined by service, sacrifice, and resilience. My journey began in uniform, where I learned discipline, leadership, and the value of standing strong in the face of adversity. Those lessons carried me into 3 years of providing Executive Protection for the President of The World Bank Group as a Close Protection and Advanced Agent. Those high-stakes roles lead me to three years of overseas contract work in Iraq and Afghanistan where I was a Diplomatic Security Specialist for the U.S. Ambassador's and Diplomats in the U.S. Embassies. My chapter of overseas work was completed with an additional three years working with Triple Canopy on their Close Protection and Intelligence Collection Team where I continued my commitment to protecting others.

Through each chapter of my life, I’ve faced challenges that tested not only my strength, but my purpose. Serving in combat zones taught me what it means to endure under pressure and to find clarity in Chaos.

What I’ve carried with me through it all is a simple truth: resilience is built through trial, and strength is forged in struggle. I believe that setbacks are never the end—they are the beginning of a greater comeback. My story is not just about service, but about growth, perseverance, and the unshakable belief that the best chapters of life are always still ahead.

Today, I carry forward those experiences not as weights, but as fuel—fuel to inspire others, to keep pushing forward, and to prove that no matter where you start or what you endure, you can rise, stronger and more determined than ever before.

My belief in discipline, responsibility, and the impact one person can have when they refuse to back down from difficult moments lead me to build this company, Kontrolled Khaos. 

Carissa

I am a mother of two incredible, strong willed boys, currently a full-time medical billing supervisor, competitive bodybuilder, and a woman on a mission to live boldly in the purpose God put inside me.

I'm someone who believes in growth, resilience and finding strength in every season of life. I value hard work, honesty and the drive to keep moving forward no matter what.

My journey wasn’t handed to me. I've built it rep by rep, gym session by gym session, choosing discipline when life was heavy and choosing faith when the world said quit. I started lifting nearly six years ago, not just to gain strength, but to reclaim myself—my confidence, my fire, my identity. Fitness became the space where God rebuilt me, reshaped me, and reminded me who I am.

I balance motherhood, leadership at work, training, and competition prep—not because it’s easy, it is quite honestly very challenging, but because I refuse to let excuses outrun my calling. My boys get to see their mom show up, push hard, and rise again, and that alone keeps me fighting forward. 

Along the way, I’ve learned to celebrate small victories, trust the process, and keep pushing toward my goals. My story is still being written, but every chapter reflects determination, faith, and the belief that the best is yet to come.

I am feminine, fierce, faith-driven, and unshakably committed.
A woman who lifts heavy, loves deeply, leads with intention, and believes that God uses the hardest seasons to sculpt the strongest warriors.

Every workout is worship.
Every sacrifice has purpose.
Every step is building the woman I’m meant to become.

And this chapter with Kontrolled Khaos,
It’s only the beginning!
