After facing my own challenges with weight, I turned to the gym to make the changes I desired.

Biography
One day – about 10 years ago – I decided I wanted to go for a run. Just a mile. I couldn't do it. I was a multi-sport varsity athlete in high school, and now I couldn't run one mile without stopping. Fast forward to today, and I've completed a marathon, more than 20 half-marathons and countless 10-mile, 10K and 5K competitions. What happened was I decided to study and implement the principles of overall health and fitness into my life. I now understand nutrition, weight-lifting, cardio, flexibility and even a little yoga. My approach is to build real, functional fitness through a wide range of activities. Now all I want to do is to help somebody else get to the finish line.
