"It is my mission to respect and be respected, to encourage and be encouraged, and to help others be better so that I may better myself." I find strength in building others up and helping them reach their goals. Without it, I could never hope to reach my own. I got into fitness not just for my self, but because I recognized the difficult challenges that people can face. It is my pleasure to be a guide, teacher, and model who helps people find success in health. My background has perfectly set me up to give informed recommendations that lead to overall positive improvements, and as long as someone is willing to listen, then I will continue to do just that.
