Personal Trainer Overview
With over 20 years experience as a personal trainer I incorporate many tools to help my clients reach their goals whether it be building strength, improving function for daily living, weight loss and more.
Training Philosophy
My number one philosophy is finding a way to enhance the life of my clients. Most of my clients are over 40 and over so form and function are a number one priority. I specialize in Functional Strength, Small Group Training, Weight Loss and more. Teaching my clients ways to live a healthy lifestyle and to see them adhere to their programs has been the greatest reward. Let’s Go!
Education
I have an extensive background in fitness and I am always striving to learn more to keep up with the latest research and techniques. I have my bachelors from UCSD in Biochemistry/Cell Biology and my Masters in Business from the University of Phoenix which I obtained when I owned a small cafe for a number of years. On top of that I hold a number of certifications in Strength Training, Nutrition, Posture Realignment and more.
Bio
My fitness journey started in high school where I played baseball and would run recreationally. In college I found rowing to be my passion and rowed two years for Orange Coast College and transferred to UCSD to finish my last two years. After college I became more active in the running world completing over 30 half marathons, several marathons and a handful of ultra marathons. I fit in a few half Ironman triathlons in there as well but at this point in my life I would say trail running and exploring the mountains of San Diego County is my happy place.
I also love competing in fitness races like Hyrox and Spartan DEKA’s.
