Born and raised in Moldova, I spent my youth training and competing in the sport of freestyle wrestling at the national and international level. I left the wrestling mat to move to the US at 20 years of age and had since lived in Chad, Angola and Australia, currently residing in Arlington, Virginia.
From learning to play tennis in N’Djamena, to training with the US Marine Corps in Luanda, to Starting Strength Seminars in Wichita Falls, Texas, I never stopped training or learning. I always look for ways to acquire more experience and knowledge so that I can be of better service to my family, friends and clients. My passion is helping people get stronger physically and mentally. I strive to inspire and motivate my community to prioritise their health and well-being for the long haul.
