I was born and raised un upstate NY, and joined a band soon after graduating high school.  My music career took me to Atlantic City and Vegas, and the major show rooms across the country.  I also did extensive work on cruise ships.

After settling in SW Florida in 1996, I became interested in a fitness career after losing over 50 pounds through exercise in 2009, and decided to get certified in Group X.  I have been both a full time musician, and fitness instructor since then.

i teach at a number of country clubs in SW Florida, as well as at Around The Clock Fitness.  Right now I teach 5 days a week, but during season the class schedule increases from about 5 classes a week, to about 12.  I would teach more if my schedule allowed it, but I still have my band!

I love to run challenge and accountability groups for my students, and have so many weight loss success stories from them.  I usually run a challenge every month.  This is a very rewarding industry.

I hit 50 this year, and I am in better shape now than in my 20's!!!  I remarried, and my husband is an Executive chef, and also a fitness enthusiast, and he is getting certified to teach PiYo this year as well  It is wonderful to workout with your best friend.
