Biography:

For over 14 years, I’ve trained just about everybody — from toddlers taking their first steps to 90-year-olds proving age is just a number. Along the way I’ve worked with students, teachers, military personnel, veterans, athletes at every stage of their careers, prenatal and postnatal moms, and clients managing conditions like cancer recovery, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and multiple sclerosis. I’m NFPT certified, and my client list spans the U.S., Canada, and Ethiopia.

My proudest moment came while training in DC with a 72-year-old client who couldn’t squat past parallel without sharp knee pain — wall squats with a stability ball were her ceiling. Nine sessions later, she was squatting below parallel for 40 reps with perfect form, pain-free, and doing the same on a balance trainer for 20. That’s the kind of transformation that keeps me hooked on this work.

I’ve worked with clients on: functional training, exercise therapy and recovery, posture correction, glute training, cancer recovery, balance training, bodybuilding, powerlifting, women’s fitness, senior fitness, youth fitness (including helping toddlers build the strength and confidence to stand and walk), sports coaching, and weight management.

Fun fact: If I won the lottery tomorrow, I’d still be coaching clients the next day. This isn’t a job for me — it’s a passion.

What you get with me: a written workout plan, tailored to your individual needs and goals. I update as you progress, and 24/7 access to me for anything fitness-related, questions, concerns, and ideas.
