in my free time I like to
Greg, his wife Kara, and daughters, Gabriella and Kassandra enjoy getting outside and being active in the great San Diego weather. They reside in Rancho Bernardo, but love going to the beach and traveling to all parts of California and overseas.

One of my favorite things in life is helping people by teaching them how to improve their strength and mobility. I love seeing the progression of confidence and understanding that comes with mastering a new exercise or connecting a concept with results. We each have unique experiences in life and sometimes just need a helping hand to guide us through the unknown, to make change feel less daunting. I have loved cooking and preparing food since I was a child, and this led me to studying nutrition and it's relationship to health. Understanding the connection we have with food and the effect it has on our body is paramount for overall health and well-being. Many people unknowingly hold misconceptions about the relationship between what we eat and how we feel, sometimes carried from childhood. I love to coach people to find their way into a healthier lifestyle that best fits each individual, whether that is focusing on exercise, nutrition or both.

in my free time I like to
In my free time you can find me training Muay Thai, at the beach or spending time with friends and family. I love to get creative in the kitchen and try new recipes. I also love to travel and explore new places every chance I get.

My passion towards fitness began at an early age. Throughout high school, I was involved in a variety of sports such as baseball, mountain biking, volleyball, dirt biking and more. In doing so, I was introduced to physical fitness at a young age and quickly discovered a passion for improving myself through continuous fitness training. I learned the unique ways in which different physical activities can target and build varying muscles. A lifelong dream of mine is to become a firefighter. Due to the demanding physical requirements of the job, I began to train in order to prepare for a career as a firefighter and pursued my degree at SDSU. Furthermore, I was given the opportunity to intern at different fitness facilities in San Diego to gain a greater understanding of the role. I aim to bring my knowledge regarding fitness training and nutrition to Fitness Together and look forward to helping you all become the best and most healthy versions of yourself.

in my free time I like to
When I am not at Fitness Together, I like to spend my free time doing activities with either my girlfriend, Lauren, or my roommates. Additionally, I enjoy playing guitar, golfing, mountain biking, and weight lifting.
