Summary

After graduating from college in Plymouth NH where I competed in wrestling while studying. I immediately began working in gyms and always had one to two other jobs at the same time. I also continued to compete in many things including, bodybuilding, MMA, strongman, powerlifting, spartan beast race and Tough Mudder. I found an opportunity to work my way to managing a small gym which lead to me opening my own gym. I worked mainly with middle aged people in the beginning but I had a passion for working with athletes and students so I eventually focused on that. I have owned multiple gyms and in those gyms I have worked well with all ages from 8-90. I enjoyed working with anyone motivated and goal oriented the most. I have helped people lose a 100 lbs and kids make all american in division one sports and even make the pros. I have also worked with professional athletes and become good friends with many professional athletes in many sports and famous personalities like Louie Simmons of Westside Barbell and Magnus ver Magnusen , 4 x worlds strongest man to name 2. I now have a 13 year old son that I have been mainly focused on and we have recently moved to Pennsylvania for him to chase his dreams and goals and also be closer to family. He will be attending Wyoming Seminary lower school to help him continue to grow as a student athlete.
