Fitness and sports have been part of my life since I was 5 years old. It provided me an outlet to keep me out of trouble, helped me maintain focus in school and build confidence in myself and what I could accomplish when I trained and played sports. 

I coached and played competitively in soccer and tennis throughout my high school and college careers.  I studied sports recreation management with an emphasis on coaching and weight training as well as working in the training room focusing on rehabilitation with athletes. I also trained in Karate, Qigong, Mauy Thai Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Krav Maga. 

20 years ago I was diagnosed with an auto-immune disease that significantly impacted my health and stamina. While fighting this disease I continued to focus on maintaining a fitness routine and eating healthy. I believe I would not be where I am today if it were not for my dedication to focusing on an exercise routine and healthy eating. 

I have been committed to fitness and training for over 25 years. My unique training style has developed through the influences of the skills and techniques I have learned over the years in my own personal training education, martial arts and sports training.
