ABOUT ME
I became a health, fitness and wellness professional due to being a heavy child and suffering all of the insecurities involved with it. Through out my lifetime I have been as heavy as 215 pounds of obesity and light as 137 pounds of competitive bodybuilding. I started lifting weights at the age of 13 and suffered some injuries due to improper techniques that also prompted the interest of learning more about health and fitness. Other long term motivational factors are a first line family history of my father who had a minor heart attack before the age of 55 and mother who was diagnosed as a diabetic before the age of 60. My areas of specialization are in: Weight Management, Off-Season Athletes, Youth Fitness, Corporate Wellness and Special Populations. I hold a very strong center of gravitation towards helping people; as well as, in health and fitness, so it only made sense to become a personal health and fitness professional. I also take great pride in being a role model for my eight year old son as a single parent. My current goals are to complete a MS in Exercise Science and Health Promotion: Wellness and Fitness Track to be followed by a Doctorate in Public Health and compete in at least one bodybuilding contest every two years after the completion of the Doctorate.
