I’m originally from Colorado, I spent 16 years in New York City and I moved back to Denver in spring 2017. Growing up, I was very active in various sports such as soccer, swimming, baseball, Tae-Kwon-Do, and football. I continued playing football throughout my high school years. In my sophomore year, my dad took my brother and me to a personal trainer for weekend sessions. This was my first experience with weight training with a coach, and I was really impressed with how fast my muscles were growing and shaping from just our once-a-week training sessions.

I moved to NYC in 2001 to attend New York University as a theater major. While in school, I kept working hard in the gym and continued to see progress. In my freshman year of college, I wanted to challenge my body even further. My brother encouraged me to look into a 3-month body transformation challenge. During the program, I made a lot of positive strength and muscle gains and really reshaped my body. I enjoyed following a workout system and seeing the results from it, this style of training really got me interested in working out in a gym setting. Although I had reshaped my body and made strength gains, I still did not have the ripped physique that I desired. I was curious to discover how I could reveal the muscle that I had gained. That is when I started doing more research on how nutrition and weight training go hand in hand. This is when I started my mission to achieve a more lean physique. I started paying attention to calories and logging my food, which gave me a better understanding of what my body needed to be lean and strong.

Four years after graduating from college, I decided to pursue a career in personal training. I started studying for my certification through NASM while taking on clients at a well-known fitness gym in NYC. Although I was both nervous and excited to start working with people and the challenges that each person presented, I really loved the chance to help others start their own fitness journey. I loved helping others set goals and watching them achieve their goals through hard and consistent work.

Over the years, I have completed certifications in both Metabolic and Neurological Adaptations with Kettlebells through Kettlebell Concepts (KBC) and also became a Corrective Exercise Specialist through NASM. I have been training officially for the last 8 years, all the while continuing to learn and educate myself to become a better trainer. Along with working with clients privately in the gym, I also train clients online via an interactive distance training app. I have and still do look at training as a continual learning process whether you are a newbie or a seasoned gym-goer, there is always a next step if you are willing to challenge yourself.

With this in mind, I try to help my clients understand the 'whys' and 'hows' of performing certain exercises. I want my clients to have that mind-body connection, not only do I want them to feel strong, but I also want them to have energy and look their best. I focus on how weight training, cardiovascular training, and nutrition all work together to achieve one's goal.

It is MY goal to help YOU build a stronger, fitter, leaner and more balanced body!
