My 20 year military career in the Naval Special Forces allowed me to acquire a wealth of knowledge dealing with fitness and nutrition. During this time I received fitness training and certification through the Army’s Master Fitness Trainer Course, the Navy’s Special Operations Physical Training Leaders Course and the world renowned Cooper Institute’s Personal Fitness Specialist Certification. Since my retirement I have gone back to the Cooper Institute and received a certification as a Master Fitness Specialist and I have also received a personal training certification through Apex (which specializes in nutrition and supplementation). I continue to expand my knowledge in fitness and nutrition with the belief that there is always something new to learn and a different approach to make a difference in someone else’s life. I became a personal trainer to help others, not to help myself. But I’ve found in helping others, I’ve bettered myself in many ways.

Since my High School days I’ve seen a lot of my family and friends transform from healthy individuals to unhealthy ones because of increased weight, poor nutrition or a combination of the two. Fortunately none of those people have become seriously ill as a result of poor fitness, but the possibility of future illnesses stemming from poor nutrition and poor fitness habits are very real. Fitness and nutrition do not have to be difficult, unpleasant or confusing. They can be fun and fulfilling. There is an appropriate and effective exercise regime out there for everyone and my desire is to make as many people aware of their tailored fitness program as possible. Adults need to get active for themselves and their kids. Kids are becoming obese at an alarming rate and one of the best ways for mom and dad to change their kid’s behaviors is to lead by example.
