I played every sport growing up.  I excelled in Basketball, Football, and Baseball.  I am a good enough athlete that I can get on any court or field and be dangerous.  After playing so many sports and being involved in team environments while growing up it was a natural fit for me as I started my journey in functional fitness to become a coach.  I love being part of a team and working out with our class and team members.  I have such a passion for coaching my teammates in class and helping them achieve their fitness goals.

The major turning point in my life and fitness journey came in my early thirties.  As I began my working career in my twenties, I still played sports to stay fit but as life moved along and my family started to grow, I didn't make fitness and health a priority.  One day in my early thirties I remember driving to work and hitting a pothole and it felt like my whole body jiggled and didn't stop for 5 minutes.  I went home that day, weighed myself, and realized I was 50 pounds overweight.  I also realized how tired and unhealthy I was.  Deciding to make health and fitness a priority again so I could feel like I did when I was an athlete was one of the best choices I have ever made.  I joined a gym and fast forward more than ten years later I have made fitness a part of my everyday life and have never been more healthy and fit. I am a better athlete than I was in my early years, and I feel great every day.

My whole purpose in coaching is to provide motivation and encouragement and give back those experiences I have received along this long journey of health and fitness to you.  I enjoy seeing others accomplish their goals and make progress in their lives.  We are a team and I see myself as your teammate coaching you, encouraging you, helping you be accountable, and helping you reach all your goals.  That is my motivation when you succeed and continuously reach your goals and then set even bigger goals, I feel that sense of team that we accomplished goals together.
