Growing up as a football player and sprinter, I have always had a passion for health and fitness. While being a collegiate athlete, I developed a love and passion for weight training. While in college I decided to get my ACE (American Council on Exercise) personal training certification in 1998. That same year I competed in my first amateur bodybuilding competition. I must tell you I didn't do well at all in it, but I instantly grew a love and a yearning for learning about this new sport.  ​ After graduating from college my first job was as a personal trainer at a YMCA in Defiance, Ohio. I loved it. Although I graduated with a bachelors degree in General Studies from Indiana University, my passion stayed strong in the health and fitness field. From that point on I continued to train individuals, conduct fitness classes and groups, and compete in bodybuilding/men's physique competitions along the way. Even earning my pro status in 2019.  ​ Through my years of experience as an athlete, coach, trainer, pro competitor, I have developed highly effective tools and methods that help my clients change their lifestyle in an efficient and sustainable way.  As much as I love training myself (and yes I do practice what I preach), showing others how to create a healthy and confident lifestyle through fitness and nutrition is the reason why I've been doing this for over 22 years.  ​ ​
