I was always a freelance trainer and conditioning coach for the Charm City Marathon.  I taught dance (for performance and for fun and endurance) for years, and awoke in 2005 to the startling realization that I had broken my back in 3 places.  My injury was traumatic, forcing three separate surgeries and five years of physical therapy.  In 2009, November, I was finally given the greenlight to return to the gym.  At that point I'd gone from 165lbs to 289lbs.  I'm back down to 175.  I was told I'd never teach again.  I currently teach indoor cycle, basic conditioning, and have a great following in Richmond, Virginia.  I teach, pretty much, full time and consistently strive to be as good as I can be.
