I am an experienced trainer.

“Unlike the 25-year-old trainer telling you things they’ve read in a book and insisting that you do things that your body can’t do, I’ve reached the age of 60+ and know the aches, pains, and challenges of an aging body. I know what it feels like to be in your 40s, in your 50s, and now in my 60s. Proactive aging is my life, not just my vocation.”

“More than just a PERSONAL Trainer, I’m a PERSONALIZED Trainer. I understand that each person’s body is unique, each person’s situation is unique, and each person’s challenges are unique. There is no ‘one-size-fits-all.’”

“I have the training, the knowledge, and the experience to help you improve your quality of life and even take you to the next level of training should you desire.”


My fitness journey

“While my high school years didn’t brand me as an athlete, my journey through fitness has been nothing short of remarkable. As a former alternate on the tennis team and a track letterman in the long jump, high jump, and triple jump, my early athletic experiences laid the groundwork for what was to come.

However, it was my mother’s simple yet profound advice that ignited a lifelong passion for staying active: ‘Go outside and play.’ Armed with nothing more than a stick, a ball, youthful enthusiasm, and a curious mind, we ventured into the great outdoors, where exercise seamlessly blended with enjoyment.


Today, I still follow my mom’s advice – I continue to go outside and play, finding joy in staying active. It’s my firm belief that exercise should be a lifelong adventure filled with fun and excitement. This philosophy is at the core of the custom training programs I create, designed not only to get you fit but to ensure you’re having a blast along the way.

My journey extends beyond the realm of fitness. With over two years as a training manager at an Anytime Fitness gym and an additional two years as a mobility specialist at a chiropractor’s office, my expertise is reinforced by a diverse background encompassing information technology, marketing, sales, public speaking, journalism, publishing, special event promotions, and much more.


I want to emphasize that my role isn’t just about counting reps; it’s about teaching and guiding individuals on their unique paths to better health and fitness.

So, if you’re looking for a coach who is not only passionate about your fitness but also dedicated to educating and inspiring you, you’ve come to the right place. Together, we’ll make every workout an exciting adventure that leads to a lifetime of well-being and vitality.”
