Quotes and Thoughts:

• From a jock to personal trainer with a few detours along the way, that's how I would describe my lifelong pursuit of overall health and fitness. After playing volleyball, softball and basketball in high school and later in college, I lost sight of what my passion really was during those college years and changed paths. Even though I had changed paths, I never left the gym. Years later, after leaving the computer industry, I was able to come full circle to pursue a life long dream. I went back to college, and my roots, to obtain formal training to become a personal trainer.



• To me, being a personal trainer means being a coach, motivator, educator and counselor. It's all about the relationship, helping people get on the road to a healthier lifestyle and having some laughs along the way. Being healthier and being fit is a journey…..Let yours begin today!
