    In May 2017 I moved from Kentucky to San Diego to pursue a career in the fitness industry. I have a weight loss background and have a passion for helping others reach their goals while also becoming more functional in all areas of life. I am a firm believer in mind and body, in order to make any kind of transformation, you have to be in the right place mentally. You have to be able to tell yourself you can do it and push through those times you may not want to keep pressing on! I have a background in Elementary Education but after being on my own health and fitness journey, I decided I wanted to help others achieve fitness goals. I have a holistic approach when it comes to health and fitness and want to give you a toolbox of tools instead of just one or two things. I want you to know that with time, consistency, and hard work you WILL achieve your goals (fitness and beyond). I want to teach you how to live a life beyond fitness so that you can achieve your greatest potential!

    in my free time I like to
    go hiking, National Park traveling, doing activities with my church, going out with friends.

    Born in Virginia Beach and raised in San Diego in a Military Family. My involvement in athletics began at an early age through a variety of sports but I found my passion in baseball which I played through High School. Growing up I was always considered the “Skinny Kid”; this is something I heard most of my life and grew used to hearing so never took the steps to get in the gym and change it.My Senior Year I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma which is a cancer that targets the Lymphatic System. Through treatment I put on a lot of weight in a short amount of time which led to confidence issues. Through this hard time in my life, I found my passion for working out which ultimately led to my passion of helping others improve their overall wellbeing.

    in my free time I like to
    When outside of Fitness Together, you can find me spending my day with my dog, with the Friends I’ve made through the Fitness Industry, furthering my education, and getting my workout in for the day. On a Lazy day, I love watching sports, movies, playing video games, or lounging by the pool.

    I’ve been passionate about basketball since middle school, and in 8th grade, I first started lifting weights to enhance my strength for the game. Over time, I developed a love for weight training that, at times, surpassed my love for basketball. This journey led me to explore a career in exercise science which was inspired by the incredible coaches I’ve had throughout my life. With over a decade of experience in weight training, I’ve focused on a wide range of goals whether it’s building muscle, losing fat, or improving athletic performance. During my undergraduate studies, I had the privilege of learning from a diverse group of professors. I am deeply passionate about helping people improve their overall health, and I believe that enhancing fitness has a positive impact on all areas of life. It’s my mission to guide others in achieving their personal goals and to share the knowledge I’ve gained over the years to support their journey toward better health and fitness.

    in my free time I like to
    spend quality time with my family and playing basketball. I also love exploring the natural beauty of San Diego, whether that’s taking in a scenic view or relaxing at the beach. I also have a passion for exploring new restaurants around San Diego, always on the lookout for hidden gems and enjoying a variety of different cuisines.

    Prior to pursuing my major, I'd gone through many weight loss journeys. A couple being, losing almost 120 lbs & competing at my first bodybuilding show! During my high school days I was fairly overweight. I was always that one kid in the friend group who would be picked around for being “The Big Guy”. I also had a strong passion to join the military as well. The idea of joining the military was my motivation to lose weight and commit to exercising and portioning what I ate. I would say for about 6 months, I went from being 268 lbs to 156 lbs. I was surprised about losing 112 lbs and opened my insight about what I wanted to pursue in life. Rather than joining the military and serving our nation, I’d rather pursue health & wellness: serving and helping those who are stuck and always wanted to get better. Fast forward to Now I have been in the Personal Training and Fitness Aspect for 4 years now and loving every moment seeing the people I train unlock their true potential!

    in my free time I like to
    spend time with my family and friends! I really enjoy going to the beach to surf and swim. Of course I take my health very seriously, so I do some sort of weight-training daily.
