Philosophy:
I grew up very goal-oriented with a big desire to help people. In my free time as a military professional, I prepared fitness plans and programs, coached Athletes at a local gym and high school, and monitored scholarly journals for advances in health and fitness.
As I moved through life, I became, and still am, a big fan of this place called the gym. So much so, that I attended Purdue University and earned a Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Administration and an Associates of Science in Health Science with a concentration in Nutrition, among many additional certifications in fitness.
In 2021, I experienced a traumatic health event that ended my near 20-year career in the U.S. Army where I served the majority of my time as a Combat Medic. Because fitness and being healthy is the sole reason I am still here; I have made it my goal to help everyone realize their worth on earth and how important it is to take care of their body. Joining the team at Snap Fitness/Alpha 1 Personal Training has been an amazing opportunity for me and I am excited to help folks reach their true potential and accomplish their goals!
