About Me

I have over twenty years working in the healthcare industry as a trainer, health consultant, and as a first tier medical responder. With experience going well beyond healthcare, I have also occupied careers within corporate offices, working rotating shifts as a line worker and emergency responder, early morning outdoor grunt work as a maintenance crew member, and the commitments that go with being a husband, father, and homeowner. I understand the demands that life can bring and have experienced just about every one of life's little ups and downs.

Life experience combined with over twenty years of education gathered in nutrition, strength training, endurance athletics, various therapies, and life coaching makes me a coach that can adapt and create a program that will not only meet the needs of a client but one that will produce results.
