Ever since I was old enough to walk, sports have been a huge part of my life. My competitive drive and work ethic, along with my belief in teamwork has enabled me to compete at an extremely high level. My sports career culminated with a Lacrosse scholarship to James Madison University, a Division I perennial top ten program. These same personal traits have allowed me to perform at any equally high level academically and at my various jobs during my college/post-college years. At James Madison I interned at the Strength & Conditioning department and there I found my passionthat is when I finally felt that I had found my passion, that pivotal moment which clearly defined ‘I’m good at this and I love it!” I currently work at a Gold’s Gym on Long Island, as well as train privately. I feel that working at Gold’s has given me the experience to adequately assess, train, and achieve results with clients of all different ages, weight goals, and special conditions. All the while the focus of my private training is sport specific, dealing mostly with high school athletes. By 26 I have figured out my passion and what I will be doing for the rest of my life in some way or form. Individually helping people obtain a better quality life, be it weight-loss, strength straining, rehab, or simply getting someone up and walking with them, is inspiring. I love that with training I have the freedom to travel, meet knew people, and experience different demographics and cultures AND I am ready to do it!
