About Me
Me in my younger days
As a kid, I was the last person anyone expected to become a fitness coach. I was overweight, the least athletic kid in my school, and I dreaded gym class.
At the age of 16 I was diagnosed with scoliosis. I had been dealing with chronic pain, along with other health issues related to my weight and poor nutrition, and feared I’d have to undergo spinal surgery.
Fortunately, that did not happen, but the diagnosis sent me down a new path. I knew something needed to change.
Jake, my training buddy and first real coach
Rather than accept the pain and loss of mobility that would have been my future, I resolved to make myself stronger.
Flash forward over 10 years later and I’m a personal trainer, Precision Nutrition certified coach, and long-distance runner.
But it was no straight line from point A to point B. Along the way I’ve overcome setbacks in every area of my deep health and gone through periods when I wasn’t training at all.
About to cross the finish line
I won’t say “I did it so you can too”. Everyone’s situation is unique, but I can say I’ve faced many challenges, turned my weaknesses into strengths, and struggled in the process.
Change is a big deal. I can relate.
If you’re ready, willing, and able to change, there’s no better time to start than now.
