I became a member of the medical team for the United States Diving Team in 1992. I had the challenge of working with the athlete’s injuries and as a member of the Performance Enhancement Team (PET) for the divers which was established to keep these athletes healthy while correcting movement impairments and advancing their training performance. I decided to step down to focus on my practice at Fitness Together on trying to correct movement imbalances and provide exceptional training in efforts to keep people well. Fitness Together was a game changer because I could focus on one on one evaluation and treatment. Evaluations are performed for injuries, postural analysis, body and balance symmetry, wellness, prevention and also for custom orthotics. The goals are to perform activities with the best quality while also allowing the body to develop or be maintained in order to either excel or to age gracefully. This has been the most rewarding position, seeing results because it is all hands-on treatment and training.

In my free time I love to spend time taking photo's of the beautiful scenery of Southwest Florida. It also gives me a fun excuse to travel. I am a die hard New England sports fan.

I graduated from the University of Central Florida with a B.S. in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance. While receiving his Master of Business Administration from the University of Central Florida, I became an ACSM Certified Personal Trainer and began training individuals in his neighborhood. Through word of mouth, three individuals quickly became twelve and I knew this was the right career path for him. I am focused on getting the most out of my clients and helping them achieve their goals. I love most about being a Fitness Together Trainer is being able to have an impact on a client’s well-being, fitness, and overall health through the work completed in our one-on-one training environment.

Spend time with family, explore new areas of Naples I have not yet experienced, and stay in motion through swimming, biking, and running.

I have been in the fitness industry for over 36 years as a group fitness instructor, personal trainer and owner/operator of my own facilities. I am from Michigan’s beautiful Upper Peninsula and moved my dog Namae and I to Naples in 2019 bringing my passion of well-being to a whole new population. I LOVE it and am so honored to be a part of a studio that exudes professionalism. Besides gyms and training studios I also have extensive experience in Yoga. Yoga bring an important element of flexibility, balance, and muscular endurance to my clients. Variety is a top priority in that the client never has the same workout but at the same time ensuring they meet their fitness and well-being goals. There is no better reward than watching someone you care about enjoy life outside the studio because you are helping them be the best version of themselves!

I have 2 grown children. My daughter Alexa who is finishing up her Phd in Singapore and my son who recently graduated from my alma mater and has accepted a logistics position in Detroit. When I am not training, I enjoy many outdoor activities. I love walking, whether strolling with my little dog or power walking on the beach. I love a good book, and Naples has brought a whole new meaning to Dining, Dancing, and Shopping.

After a successful career as a Sergeant in the Allentown Police Department, I decided to follow my passion. My passion has always been fitness and health. I am finally able to make it a reality. I am excited to apply what I have learned to help others be the best version of themselves. I’m excited to be part of FT, and train one on one with clients. I can't wait to guide them to reach their fitness goals.

Explore my new home that is Naples. I enjoy cycling and spending time on the beautiful beaches with my husband.
