My Background

I was born in Philadelphia, PA, and was very active as a youth in school. Football, Baseball and Wrestling were sports I excelled in, and kept me physically fit. After High school, being significantly less active, I became extremely overweight in only a couple of years. I looked and felt terrible. At my very highest, I weighed over 300 pounds. As a result, I became very depressed and disappointed in myself. 

​

Working out and dieting on my own did not help, because I lacked direction. I was not committed to sticking with a consistent plan. Since it was clear I needed help, I decided to hire a personal trainer. This decision was one of the best of my life. I learned what a difference proper nutrition and training could do for a person. I lost over 100 pounds in 8 months and felt awesome. It was at that moment, my passion for Bodybuilding and learning more about proper nutrition was born. 

​

I have studied and worked with many different trainers over the years creating my own style, and my own plans. Today, 18 years later I have transformed hundreds of clients, which solidifies that my plans are proven to work. I absolutely love what I do, there is nothing more rewarding than watching a person transform their body and feel great! 

​

I truly identify with my clients, having been in their position myself. Helping someone to build or rebuild their self-confidence and self-esteem through their accomplishments is absolutely the most rewarding aspect of my job.
