After receiving my Master’s degree from UWM I began training at Fitness Together because I wanted to work hands on with clients. My areas of study included exercise physiology and biomechanics and Fitness Together was an ideal environment for me to apply what I learned to the needs of my clients. I initially received my B.S. in Biology and wanted to work with animals, but after working as a marine mammal intern at the Shedd Aquarium, I realized that I wanted to work as a trainer but not with animals. I have been in the fitness industry for over a decade now and am even more excited and dedicated to helping people improve their overall health and fitness.

When I am not training here at Fitness Together, I spend my free time with my daughter, who is a bundle of joy and energy. Additionally, I enjoy working on our house along with my wife. If I am not working, working out, working on the house, or spending time with the family, I am playing video games with my buddies (aka the squad) online.

I grew up as a very active kid who enjoyed playing football, competing in combat sports, and bodybuilding. These passions have followed me throughout my life and helped shape me as a person. I love working out, attending live sporting events, and cooking for family and friends in my free time. I have always looked for ways to make a difference in people's lives, and being a personal trainer provides me with the perfect opportunity to do this. I became a personal trainer because I enjoy helping others achieve their health and fitness goals. With my experience in the field, including specialized training in Parkinson's Disease for fitness professionals and my history as a CBRF certified caregiver, I can provide practical guidance and support tailored to individual needs. My goal is to help people achieve their health objectives and lead healthier lifestyles.

I have been around sports and fitness my whole life, especially baseball and snowboarding. I had multiple surgeries in 8th grade due to a leg-length discrepancy, and during rehab, I found the value of strength training. I spent a lot of time working on the strength and mobility of my leg, and still to this day I am making progress. I love teaching and helping others reach their fitness goals. By the time I was 16, I knew I wanted to be around exercise as a career. So, right when I graduated high school, I became an ACE (American Council of Exercise) Personal Trainer. Fitness Together has a very positive attitude towards exercise, and it is a great place to learn and better my craft. I love goal setting in the gym and believe it is important to work towards your goals and continue to set new ones.

I love to take my dog on long walks, and watch him swim in the lake. I enjoy all watersports, snowboarding, and recently joined a slow pitch softball league. I enjoy traveling and being with my family. I have my own fitness journey, and love seeing progress in the gym. In the summer, I play tennis with my friends, and sometimes even pickleball. In addition, I love playing frisbee golf.
