My Mission

I believe that with fitness, we can get to a core essence of ourselves. It’s raw, it's personal, it’s unique. My role is to help you understand that achieving a healthy lifestyle is attainable as it is a life journey. What inspires you now may not be an easy answer; that’s okay. For me, it’s my family. I want to be active with them and provide a positive example. My career began with young athletes, military personnel, and then middle-aged adults looking to get back to being active. Exercise and fitness doesn’t have to be maniacal but it does have to be purposeful. I want to help teach that purpose and provide support for my clients.

Each rep made or bead of sweat dripped is earned. No one can take that away from you. You own it.

Why Train With Me

Exercise is more than what you see on tv or a magazine article touting the latest trend or gimmick. This can make it kind of confusing. I can help clients navigate the vast amounts of information so that they can experience the success of a strong fitness and wellness related program to enhance their quality of life. I expect my clients to work and maintain a strong intensity in their routines. I will push you to bring out your best.

My go-to workout

My favorite workout consists of strength training with a mixture of Tabata based interval exercise.

Healthy food I love

I love smoking and grilling leans meats and harvesting an assortment of vegetables from my garden.

Healthy food I hate

I definitely can do without consuming mushrooms. I pick them out of everything!

Client stories

"Before finding Kickoff, I wasted so much time sitting in my car at the gym trying to google the "best" workout for the day. Now I never fret over workouts - they're sent to me with clear instruction in the Kickoff app. Working with my trainer via text has been such a benefit. Having that accountability was key - I beat my goal by 10 lbs, losing 40 lbs before my wedding day!"
