My Mission

My mission is to inspire the everyday person to spend more time being active, getting outside, and feeling like their best self even as they get older! You're never too old to be "athletic"!

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today's a gift. That's why it is called the present

Why Train With Me

I'm going to work with you to do this at the pace you are comfortable working at but getting to know you well enough to push you in the right ways to work hard! We're going to work together to create something that brings you results in a timely manner and leaves you feeling GOOD. This will be something that I hope you learn to love and make time for as long as you are able to move!

My go-to workout

A full body workout with fitness built-in, followed by a trail run up the mountain behind work!

Healthy food I love

Tomahawk steaks! Usually with some okra and potatoes!

Healthy food I hate

Broccoli, unless it's SUPER crispy from the air fryer!

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!"
