Summary
Immersed in the fitness world since youth, from participating in junior team sports to excelling as a collegiate athlete and now as a lead instructor, teacher, and head coach. My passion is to help people become something greater than themselves, and that passion has driven me to become a die - hard professional in the Health and Fitness arena. I have since dedicated myself to furthering my studies by specializing in a number of areas in strength training and conditioning. I am an educator and master trainer for various school systems and national gyms.
