Since the age of 6 I have been competing in traditional karate and mixed martial arts, reaching the rank of 3rd degree black belt, while also playing baseball, football, and hockey. While training for myself, I also taught kids classes, private lessons and self defense classes at my fathers dojo. After high school, I joined the US Army and represented my unit on the Boxing team. After the military, I attended college in the culinary arts, with a focus on nutrition. Shortly after graduating, I started my own fitness company, where I was the head personal trainer with about 15 clients. I would travel to their homes for all sessions and created personalized training programs. I also would take my clients grocery shopping in order to teach them how to get the maximum nutrition from their meals. I have been coach of several different sports teams, from baseball, to hockey. I love joining people on their journey towards their dreams, and I am always excited to be the person to believe in them, the one to be by their side with never wavering encouragement. Personal training is about more than just exercise; it is a learning a new mindset and way of life that can empower anyone to achieve their dreams. I want to help people get there. I succeed when you succeed. I have extensive experience working with children, and truly enjoy working with them, as well as my program incorporating basic fundamentals of martial arts.

I believe in individuality, consistency and having an open mind towards new methods of achieving goals, even when I take you out of your comfort zone.

You can expect to be challenged, supported, and get one hell of a sweat. Session content will vary depending on your individual goals, but overall my intention is for you to feel a sense of growth and confidence in yourself and the program.

When I had started my own fitness program, one of my first clients was a young girl, who was in good health but wanted to lose some weight. While the physical fitness was the obvious goal, what she didn’t expect was the transformation of her mindset. My training program focuses not only on the physical aspect, but I pour equal effort into building confidence in every day life, enabling individuals to take those critical first steps towards something new in life, and my never wavering dedication helps my clients become the best version of themselves. My client, who started as a shy, timid young lady, blossomed into a strong woman, who now had the confidence she needed to quit a bad job, get a new home and car, find the job of her dreams and after hard work and commitment to my program, finally achieved the physical transformation she desired. Using the physical and mental tools that I taught her, she turned her life around and even found her husband. After all these years she is still a client of mine and truly a best friend.
