I started training to be a runner when I was 13. I ran High School Varsity Track and Cross Country all 4 years. After I graduated in 2003 I was pretty scrawny. I started lifting weights in 2004, but didn't get serious about it until late in 2006, when I realized how small I was and wanted to get a lot bigger.

I love weight lifting, and enjoy running still. I love the feeling I get when my muscles are pumped up after lifting some heavy weight. (or at least heavy to me) I love knowing that what I'm doing is making a difference and improving on the size and strength of my body. And now more recently I love knowing that my progress and dedication inspires others to work toward reaching their health and fitness goals. I love being a Trainer.
