Personal Story

I love what I do but it wasn't always so in regards to my healthy active lifestyle. It started over 15 years ago, I mean I had always been active in some form or another, I have been learning and teaching Martial Arts and mixed martial arts for over 22 years, served our country for 5 years and enjoyed biking and hiking. But life had a hidden agenda; I was diagnosed with cancer at age 25 and had an operation to remove the tumor and just after two months I was diagnosed again with the same type of cancer, just that it had attached to my lymph nods in my torso. So, after spending four months going in and out of the hospital, the recovery period and periodical chemotherapy treatments all this equaling about a year. I was left with an out of shape body unable to perform simple feats such as walking up a single flight of stairs I decided then it would be in my best interest to become more focused on my lifestyle. At that point in my life I have yoyo'd from 280 lbs to 260 then after the chemotherapy treatment was over, I ballooned to 300 lbs +. My life was a wreck but as God would have it there where people in my life that encouraged me to begin boxing lessons and power lifting. I refocused my energy on martial arts, Thai boxing, and today hold a 3rd degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do. I took a serious look at my exercise and nutritional habits and saw that they both needed some adjustments�you can't have one without the other. I started to educate myself, became a certified personal trainer and began teaching several kickboxing classes through-out Nashville, TN. I had to eat healthier to maintain my energy levels during the times I was teaching and this continued even after I stopped teaching and began fitness management. Helping individuals change their body and in that their outlook on how life can be more rewarding was immeasurable. I'm proud to be a certified personal trainer it also means I get to be a teacher. Mentor, and counselor and transform lives one person at a time. I look forward to making some of those changes in you.

My personal advice for anyone looking to receive personal training is to find the trainer with a niche in the area you are looking for and maybe watch them with another client to see how the communicate with them and see what their motivation type is.

My prior personal training experience includes over 13 years in Tennessee. In total, I have over 20 years experience in the field.
