My Mission

My mission is to help clients reach the best version of themselves mentally and physically. This begins with consistency, desire and effort on my part as well as my clients. Healthy body and healthy minds leads to healthy habits. This formula saved me from a life of depression and addiction.

Why Train With Me

I am dedicated to my clients and my vast and diverse coaching and training experience will take you to the next level. I do not follow fitness fads or popular fitness trends. My goal is to help you find the fitness program that aligns with your goals and that you enjoy. A healthy mind and body starts with healthy habits. Results and enjoyment will create the habits you desire to change your life.

My go-to workout

Boxing or kickboxing, Hitting and kicking the heavy bag or focus mits always makes me feel better.

Healthy food I love

Grilled fish tacos made with salmon and fresh greens are heart healthy and a good source of protein.

Healthy food I hate

That's tough but if I had to choose a specific food I dislike it would be asparagus.

Client stories

"Before finding Kickoff, I wasted so much time sitting in my car at the gym trying to google the "best" workout for the day. Now I never fret over workouts - they're sent to me with clear instruction in the Kickoff app. Working with my trainer via text has been such a benefit. Having that accountability was key - I beat my goal by 10 lbs, losing 40 lbs before my wedding day!"
