Guzman is an entrepreneur and philanthropist who holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Florida International University where he graduated with honors. In 2013 he started producing obstacle and road races where he noticed  the athletes did not represent the diversity of the community. 


In 2014 he began sponsoring dozens of athletes, unable to afford races, to take part in the events he produced. By 2015 this generosity expanded to youth athletes around Hudson County, NJ. He realized there was a greater need in supporting the younger generation. 


By 2017 hundreds of kids had taken parts in dozens of events at no cost. The City Challenge Youth Foundation was created with the goal to allow youth of all economic backgrounds the opportunity to take part in a fitness event despite their financial resources.
