Here is My story

As a lifelong athlete at heart, I've always been driven to push the boundaries of ordinary and turn it into extraordinary results with unparalleled commitment to excellence on, and off, the turf or court. Growing up in Dallas, I was a top-ranked athlete from a young age, competing in the Junior Olympics, becoming an all-state track and field athlete, and earning a unanimous selection as all-district for football. My athletic success continued through college when I relocated to New York to play football at Fordham University.

But my true calling was not on the football field, it was in helping others to achieve their health and fitness goals. After a family tragedy forced me to refocus my energies on public service, I decided not to pursue a career as a professional athlete. Instead, weeks after graduating from Fordham with a B.S. in Business Finance, I took a leap of faith and became an Independent Fitness Professional, quickly becoming one of the top trainers in New York City.
