"Level Up Your Life!"

About Me

How did you get started in the fitness profession?

My passion for fitness and nutrition started in the Army when I was selected to be the lead physical fitness instructor for my unit in 2002. My passion continues to grow as I strive to provide the best fitness regimens and instructions for all my clients and members.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a fitness professional?

Anyone can go get a fitness certification. A real fitness professional's best attributes are empathy/compassion combined with knowledge. Don't judge a fitness trainer on the multiple certifications that he/she might have. Granted, I also have a few certifications; however, I actually care about each and every one of my clients and will put their needs above any sort of monetary gain.

  • 10+ years as a physical training instructor in the U.S. Army
