I work with clients of all ages, both men and women. I like to use a variety of tools and toys to keep my clients motivated. I find you where you are at and what you want to do. I am a listener. I know how to get the most out of you even when you don't think you can give me anymore.

My philosophy: If I can't do it I won't make you do it. Whatever I have you do I have already done it so I know what you are going through and how it feels to you. I like to use weight training, cardio, Tabata, stretching, and Kettlebells. I am an observer of people so I am sensitive to how you are doing and what I can get out of you. I can push you hard and also back off when it is needed. I don't waste time talking since you are paying for my time. I will certainly give you your moneys worth. I also like a lot of variety so you won't get bored.

About Me: In high school I lettered in basketball, volleyball, and rifle. I also participated on a German volleyball team and won a scholarship. In college I played on the volleyball, tennis, and rifle teams. I was also in the military for 27 years at which time I was heavily involved in keeping fit and helping others to stay fit. Currently I like to run, walk, hike, and ride my bike. I have a passion for maintaining peak levels of fitness and I’ve been helping others do so as a Personal Trainer and fitness instructor for the last 7 years. I like to make sure my clients have fun, while also receiving the benefits of a great workout!
