I'm a fit 61-year-old with a life-long love of the gym. I was a skinny kid-turned fat kid who turned to exercise. So, I understand the struggles. My focus is on the 40-ish-and-up person who wants to improve their fitness level, particularly their body composition (aka get leaner, look and feel better). I specialize in programming for the busy traveling professional who's looking to get, or stay, fit on-the-road. I know what it's like to be middle-aged with life stresses, and the associated aches and pains. My aim is to introduce a fitness lifestyle that adds fun and vitality, and delivers results!

I love the fitness process, the science and biomechanics of the body, and healthy nutrition. I competed as a powerlifter in college, then after college started a business career, but the gym has always been a constant and my happy place.

On the side, I write and edit fitness blogs, websites, and podcasts.

My favorite client story

52-year old female client who at one time was a figure competitor. Got away from competing due to extremes required to compete. Approached me to help her get back into bodybuilding in a sustainable way that fit her lifestyle (amd rock her clothes). She recently texted me this: "Got random compliment at work from a lady...your legs look great...and [your hips are] amazing....girl you got it going on."

My favorite exercise

Sissy squats

My favorite quote

"Stimulate. Don't annihilate." -Lee Haney

My training philosophy

Exercise is either fun, or avoided. If you don't like it, you'll find a reason not to do it.

My training experience

Physique improvement for professional women in mid-life. Powerlifting coaching for novice level.
