After 16 years in corporate America, I decided to pursue my dream of helping others achieve their fitness goals. I have been an ACE certified personal trainer since 2010 and due to my love of endurance sports, I obtained my RRCA and USAT coaching certifications. Now I'm able to help athletes cross finish lines that will change their lives. 

I have a passion for fitness and love a challenge. I ran my first 5k in 2007 and since that time I have run road races of all distances including over 10 marathons and an Ultra marathon (50mi). In 2011 I took up the sport of triathlon determined to become an Ironman. That dream came true in 2012 when I crossed the finish line at Ironman Florida. I have since completed 2 more Ironman distance triathlons (IM Lake Placid and Challenge AC) and am ready for #4! 

We all have different goals; each one of them unique and important. I believe anything is possible and I consider myself lucky to be able to help people reach those goals.
