I emphasize function and form.

Training Philosophy
My competitive background in Olympic Weightlifting and Bodybuilding has given me a great understanding of the limits of the human body. My education has taught me the balance of specification verses diversity. The decades in the health profession has given me the knowledge of how to make exercise, recreation, and functional movement a life-long enjoyable experience. To preach requires practice, meaning if I haven't tried it you won't do it.
