Bio

Growing up with 8 brothers, sports and competition were always a big part of my life. I started my weightlifting journey in my sophomore year of high school with two of my brothers, with the goal of improving my athletic performance.

Since then, weightlifting has been a staple in my life getting me through many hardships. I was drawn to personal training because it gave me the opportunity to offer the benefits that I had found in exercise to others.

My interest in fitness led me to SVSU which equipped me with the necessary knowledge and experience to work with a wide range of clients.

My main focus is on resistance training with the majority focusing on free weights. I have experience with calisthenics and HIIT training programming. I would not call myself a drill sergeant but I do push my clients.

My overall goal is to help them find their internal motivation and provide them with the necessary knowledge to take charge of their fitness goals.
