PHILOSOPHY ON EXERCISE
Have your appearance be a by-product of your athleticism... not your athleticism a by-product of your appearance. In other words, don't exercise simply to make your muscles look good, but so that your muscles function at a high level in all your daily activities.

THE REST OF THE STORY
My path into the world of health and fitness was laid by my father. I was very athletic as a child, but extremely skinny. My father thought it would be a good idea to begin weight training to increase my size and my strength when I was about 14. Well, I hated it! We would go into his cellar and he would PUSH me, but all I wanted to do was be outside playing ball. Needless to say, by the time I was about 16 my body had started making noticeable changes, and now I was beginning to really enjoy strength training.

I have met a lot of great people since I started working here and really enjoy working in a field that allows me to have a positive impact on people’s lives. I have 2 wonderful children that have an interest in sports/exercise and hope that I can have the influence on them that my father had on me.
