I have been a trainer for 8 years and have trained ages from 6 all the way to 78. I am a Medical Exercise Specialist, Functional Trainer, Orthpedic Exercise Specialist and Massage Therapist. I believe I can provide the most benefit to younger athletes in order to help them understand what's required of them as an athlete in order to excel in their sport, prevent injury, and be the best athlete they can be.

I played 4 years to University of Toledo as a running back (Earned 1st team All Mac) and was drafted to the Miami Dolphins in the 6th round in 2008. I played for Baltimore, Jacksonville and Cardinals (briefly). I ended up in I spent 7 years (credited with 4) in the NFL before starting my personal training career.

We start with the basics! We go over lifting techniques, body awareness, how to engage your core through movements, brain to muscle connectivity... those are the most important aspects to understand and grasp as you begin exercising for the first time. From there it's all about strengthening from the inside out. We will work on joint stability, balance, mobility, coordination, strength, power. Our goal is to get you comfortable in the weight room and to reduce your chance of injury, whether it be in the weight room or playing sports.
