In 2009 I went through some pretty serious injuries and trauma. During physical therapy, I realized that I wasn't nearly in the shape I should be in to be the best at my job. Before, the gym wasn't a place I was usually known to be, I was just a runner. Once I noticed the weight stacking up, I was hooked. Instead of paying others for advice, I got my own NASM certification and I'm working on many more.

Working out provides stability and purpose in my day. It improves who I am and let's others see the changes that it provides for me. I love to motivate others to achieve their goals. If you are the change you want to see in the world, others will want to be better around you.
