Being physically fit and active has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. During my years at Sonoma State University, I worked hard at both academics and baseball, and my passion for health and fitness took hold. I was also drawn to something else: helping others do the same.

Whether it was a teammate or just a friend who was struggling to get in shape, I always found time to help them – I enjoyed it almost as much as the work I was doing for myself (almost!). A professor of mine encouraged me to consider combining my love of physical fitness with my desire to be a business owner. She explained that a business model built on passion often yields the best results both personally and professionally.

I took my professor’s advice to heart. Today, I am certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine as a Certified Personal Trainer and Performance Enhancement Specialist. Additionally, I am a Pn1-Precision Nutrition Certified Coach and a Certified Coach by the Online Trainers Association (OTA). In 2002, I founded Fitness Built For You and I have not looked back.

Especially today, I remain as passionate about fitness training and my career as ever, including the nutrition component behind optimal health and wellness. I am committed to remaining educated about this evolving field and not only improving my own level of fitness, but helping my clients do the same.

My training style engages clients to increase their motivation and understanding of the fitness programs I design for them, and my goal is to inspire people to reach optimal levels of performance and balance in life, regardless of where they are on their fitness and health journey when they begin.

One thing my clients would agree on is that I bring a positive attitude, boundless energy, and 100% focus on the programs, workouts, and overall experience to every person I come into contact with as a fitness trainer. I genuinely believe that a client’s success is my success, and I am dedicated to making sure that every person’s results are the very best they can be.
