My passion for fitness began during my freshman year of high school, where I participated in track and field year-round while consistently strength training. That commitment continued throughout college, where I trained five days a week and increased my body weight from 160 lbs to 190 lbs through structured resistance training and proper nutrition.

During college, I had the opportunity to train my roommate, who increased his weight from 97 lbs to 115 lbs by the end of the semester. Seeing his progress firsthand sparked my passion for helping others achieve their fitness goals and inspired me to pursue a career in personal training.

I later worked at a chiropractic office, where I gained valuable experience in corrective exercise, mobility and flexibility training, proper lifting mechanics, core stabilization, and exercise techniques designed to help reduce pain and improve movement quality. This experience strengthened my understanding of injury prevention and functional fitness.

To further develop my expertise, I earned my ISSA Certified Personal Trainer certification. Since then, I have remained committed to expanding my knowledge and helping clients build strength, improve their health, and reach their fitness goals through safe, effective, and personalized training programs.
