I came to the South Bay with a sound background in strength and conditioning for sports. I first realized the importance of strength and conditioning in high school when I trained myself for football and wrestling. The results of my training program led me to All-State football and wrestling awards as well as an All American High School Football mention.
After receiving my degree in physical education, I went on to pursue several certifications in the fitness industry. I have over 25 years experience designing and implementing fitness programs for groups and individuals of all ages and abilities. I spent over two years teaching physical education and health science at the high school level. My teaching experience includes everything from the basics of exercise science to applied sport specific skills at the professional level. I am familiar with teaching in high school setting. I am proficient in aspects of program development, performance assessment, wellness programming, performance nutrition, and weight management. Since earning my degree and certifications, I keep myself up to date with current sports performance information including continued education courses. Additional experiences and skills have helped me in becoming a better instructor and coach.
At this point in my career, I am pursuing a greater emphasis on strength and conditioning and sports performance improvements for the professional and amateur athlete.

I currently work with clients at my home fitness center and at a local field. Training focuses on developing strength, power, speed and agility. Training levels include athletes and non athletes ranging from teens to adults. Ability levels included secondary and high school, amateur and professional. I offer one-on-one and small group exercise instruction, motivation, nutritional counseling, and supplementation. Clients are assessed for health histories, are performance-tested, and are interviewed for performance and fitness goals. A personalized program is then developed and implemented for the client with supervision over workouts, nutrition, and supplementation to maximize results. Clients are taught proper bio-mechanics, exercise and nutrition principles. Progress is measured at regular intervals via accepted measurement tests and procedures.
