Background:

A bookworm up until the age of 18, I discovered a passion for fitness exercise and movement rather late in life when I began studying Tung Soo Do, a Korean martial art.

Due to the nature of my work for many years, I was frequently moving, and often had to re-start my training usually in a different style.

In an effort to stay competitive through all this, I began devouring any and all information I could find on conditioning and general fitness.

Over the years I have been very fortunate in working for and with a rich diversity of knowledgeable individuals, as well as having a wide variety of clients with a broad range of physical and mental/emotional needs.

One of the most rewarding aspects of this field is the depth and breadth of information. As an avid reader with more than my fair share of curiosity, I have continued to explore all branches and side-roads that I came across relating to fitness, movement and exercise.

In an effort to find the best possible tools to help my clients I have taken training in post acute rehab, yoga, Pilates, Olympic and powerlifting and plyometric sports training

Hobbies:

• Martial Arts (still)
