D here,  I am a Certified Personal Trainer and Fitness Nutrition Specialist through the American Council of Exercise. 

I didn’t foresee myself becoming a fitness professional as I was average, at best, while playing organized sports. I was also pretty scrawny and dealt with depression. 

My sophomore year of  High School I was introduced to the weight room, I didn’t know it then, but my life changed from that day on. It not only transformed my body but as well as my mind, it taught me patience and how to overcome challenges. 

Since then, I’ve been fortunate enough to have mentors with a lifespan of experience in Personal Training bless me with their knowledge. 

With that, I take a holistic approach to coaching, leading you to your physical goals, helping you make a mental shift and giving you the tools to make exercise a part of your life. 

Whether at your consultation, on the training floor or in passing, I hope to leave a positive impact on your views of ReDefine and fitness in general.

I have a bachelors of science in Kinesiology as well as being a certified strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS) by the NSCA.  I first began training as a means to help people get stronger and achieve goals they didn’t think they could. Now I can’t imagine doing anything else.

As a former division 1 student-athlete I have been coached and mentored by some of the best coaches and leaders in the business.  Through my journey my coaching philosophy has evolved in certain ways, but always contains certain fundamental truths as follows:  

1. Fitness is for everyone.  Not everyone comes to a coach with the right mindset, but the right coach can help anyone develop that mindset.
2. Fitness, as with everything worth doing, requires discipline and resilience.  Anyone can thrive when motivated, it takes fortitude to develop the discipline for the times you aren’t motivated.
3. If you show up and work hard for me, I will do the same for you.  Coaching is built on trust.  You trust me, and I’ll trust you.
4. Fitness should be fun!  It’s going to be different for everyone and that’s ok.  A good coach will help you find the things you most enjoy about it and that’s what makes your results last in the long-run.

My goal with my coaching is to lead and inspire people to become the best version of themselves possible both physically and mentally.
