My brother inspired me to lift weights and get strong at a very young age. The summer after I graduated high school, I lost 45 pounds before going to college because I wanted to start at a healthier weight. I lift at the University of Maine Rec. Center and work there as a trainer.

I major in Kinesiology Exercise Science with a Business Administration minor. I am certified through ACE, but still have much to learn about myself and fitness in general.

It calms me down and gives me something to always work at, I'm never bored. There are always goals to chase, things to progress in, and gains to be seen. It is the ultimate form of therapy for me, it just never stops.
