Philosophy

“My career path has always been that of an educator, caretaker, and motivator. It’s what I do naturally to help people succeed. If you know the how and why and it makes sense you have a better chance of success.

Fitness, like nutrition, is both a journey…not a destination! You can always run faster, jump higher, lift more, and perfect your nutrition to allow for the best quality of life possible.”

Experience

“As I look back, the most influential people in my life were my coaches. They pushed me and guided me to be a better person and athlete. They taught me how to pick myself up when I fell down.”

From a very young age, I was a driven athlete. I excelled both athletically and academically. I attended Tulane University in New Orleans, LA where I played Division 1 Basketball on a full scholarship and even had a taste of pro ball for a couple of years. I graduated with a 3.4GPA in Sports Administration and a minor in Business. I have been a personal trainer for over 25 years and a private gym owner for 13 years. I have coached various sports for the past 20+ years. Being on both sides of the coaching fence I have true compassion for both the players giving their all and the coaches that motivate them along the way. As a Fitness Specialist and Personal Trainer, the missing piece has been nutrition. The Genetix Program Certification has allowed me to put the big picture together for my clients nutritionally.

I excel at motivating people to achieve their goals. I also know that to err is human but to get back on track and succeed is divine, especially if you have someone to coach you along the way. I am driven by the fact that my clients put their trust in me to help them realize their true potential to succeed and I take it personally as I help them do so.

I also played competitive Tennis, Soccer, Softball, and Beach Volleyball. I have over 25 years of experience instructing all levels of fitness clients as well as athletes in numerous sports. I am a dedicated and highly experienced trainer and coach and have had the opportunity to rub elbows with athletes such as Jacque Joyner, Venus Lacy, Cheryl Miller and even had the once-in-a-lifetime experience of playing basketball with George Clooney.
