I have a degree in Industrial & Management Engineering from RPI in Troy, NY (1991).

For the first part of my professional life, I worked in restaurant management (16 years).

For the second half of my professional career, I was a flight attendant for a major airline (23 years).

During the latter, I became very interested in group fitness - my wife "dragged" me into a Zumba class - and that's it, I was hooked!

For almost the last 15 years, I have been fortunate enough to teach some of the greatest classes, filled with eager students of all ages.

I love nothing more than motivating people to reach their goals, yet have fun doing it. FUN has to be a part of it. I have always found if you have a good time with your students and create an environment where the fitness students are really enjoying themselves, you create a formula for a successful class. I know that there are many levels of ability for my students, so I try and cater to most everyone who is "courageous" to make the first move and show up for class!

I speak/read Spanish fluently. My mom was from Ecuador and my Dad was a NYC kid.

I love traveling and have traveled extensively, both through work and privately.
