I’m here to help you achieve your goals—and have fun while doing it! I began my professional career as an athletic trainer for high schools and various semi-pro sports teams. Since 2000, I’ve been working one-on-one with clients to help them reach their fitness and life goals. I have extensive experience working with young children, elite athletes, and older adults, helping each group succeed in their own way. Having lost over 70 pounds of "baby fat" myself, I’ve experienced firsthand the powerful impact fitness can have on your life—whether that means running faster, jumping higher, getting out of bed pain-free, or simply improving your overall health. My goal is for you to feel confident in my experience and comfortable in our facility’s intimate, welcoming environment.

in my free time I like to
Hangout with my wife and our Boston Terrier Khaleesi-Rey. I also have a passion for golf and cycling.

I went to school at the University of Southern Maine and received my BS in Exercise Science in 2017. I became a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist shortly after and began to revel in the idea that I could educate people in an industry with so much misinformation. My goal is to usher you through your health and wellness journey safely and with purpose.

Outside of work I am my best in nature. In the spring, summer, and fall, I like to hike the beautiful white mountains. In the winter I still find my peace in the mountains but with a snowboard instead of a backpack. More minorly, I spend some time golfing and rock climbing. Mostly, I spend my time cooking and playing with my dog Tessie.

As a dancer for 17 years, I learned early on about the clarity and calmness movement provides me. While I liked performing, I found the most enjoyment in the constant journey of learning, struggling, practicing and perfecting. Needing to transition away from dancing due to injuries and pain, I began my career working with ballet dancers as a stage manager for Boston Ballet. There I saw first hand the difference strength training and conditioning makes when it comes to avoiding injury, healing from injury and being able to maintain performing at a high level day after day. Now, having been on a chronic pain journey myself, I am especially passionate about helping people find the balance between managing their pain and not allowing it to take control of their life. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment in which people can achieve their goals, celebrate showing up for themselves, and find the small joys and motivators within their workouts.

Outside of work, you can find me going for a run or taking a Peloton ride, trying out a new vegetarian recipe, and then cozying up with a book (often recommended by our FT bookclub) or a cheesy TV show while I do my nightly recovery. On days off in the summer I enjoy spending the morning relaxing at the beach, and on rare weekends throughout the year I like to explore small New England towns looking for cute bookstores and bakeries.

I started my fitness career in 2018, after I switched careers from a research engineer to becoming a personal trainer and fitness instructor for a big box gym, but fitness has always been a big part of my life. From skiing ever since I was 4 years old to playing rugby for UConn, exercise has been the rock I could always fall back on, not just for the physical benefits, but the mental benefits as well. Nothing makes me feel happier than when I see someone reach their goals, and I work my hardest to make sure those goals are met. Always look to be better today than you were yesterday.

in my free time I like to
Go skiing in the winter, running outside, playing video games, and spending some quality time with my friends.

I graduated from Endicott College with a B.S. in Athletic Training and became a Certified Athletic Trainer in 2019. I have worked in multiple fields related to health and wellness, most notably aiding patient training programs in physical therapy. I aim to guide people toward their fitness goals in a safe and efficient way. We all want to improve ourselves, but we need a base of understanding of how the body moves properly to prevent injuries and setbacks.

in my free time I like to
I like to relax at home and spend time with my family, watching tv shows, playing video games, and when the weather allows it, hanging out by the pool. I like to rock climb and to get outside for walks with my family and dogs to get some peace and quiet.
