Fitness, sports, and training were my passions growing up. I am fortunate that my passion became my profession and now I work to inspire and motivate others to live active and healthy lives. I have always been a competitor. I competed in colleg tennis and qualified and played in the NJCAA both my freshman and sophomore years. Since college I received my black belt and shortly thereafter found myself in the ring competing in amateur kickboxing. I am also an avid triathlete and absolutely love the thrill of the race. My most notable experience was being the season premiere episode winner of the comeback show "American Gladiators," in May of 2008.

I have been working as certified personal trainer for the last six years. I specialize in weight loss, body sculpting, sports specific, functional, and special populations training. I am also an APEX certified nutritional counselor, helping numerous people reach their fitness and weight loss or weight gain goals. I also teach my own "brand" of group fitness, a class I call "Punch and Crunch." It is a technically based kickboxing and boxing class, that includes high intensity cardio and core work.

I love working with large groups as well as giving the individual attention one needs for personal training. Let me help you reach your fitness goals and we will get there together!
