My earliest memory of my health and fitness journey was sitting on the steps of my back porch, lacing up my sneakers, and preparing to go on a jog with my father. I was 10 years old. My passion for fitness continued and evolved into high school sports, competitive bodybuilding, marathons, and CrossFit competitions.
 

Fitness, nutrition, and wellness have been an integral part of my life for over 40 years and have molded me into the person that I am today. I struggled with disordered eating when I was in college and found solace in competitive bodybuilding. The sport showed me how monumental of an impact fitness and nutrition could have on my emotional well-being. 

Over the last few years, I’ve embraced more of an integrative approach to health and wellness that is more than just what I eat and how I move my body. I’ve taken a greater interest in how things like work-life balance, stress management, and recovery have an impact on both my physical and emotional health. The journey in this space has inspired me to help others not only develop their own definition of “health,” but also follow through with a plan that cultivates soundness and balance in both mind and body.
