About Me


In high school, a season-ending shoulder injury pushed me to undergo surgery, forcing me to miss most of that year. This experience, while heartbreaking, ignited my curiosity about human performance. Subsequent months of rigorous rehab, working closely with trainers and physical therapists, sparked my interest in the human body.

Following high school, I pursued my education at Northern Illinois University, earning both a Bachelor's in Kinesiology and a Master's in Exercise Physiology. With over eight years of training experience, including four post-graduation, I've worked with diverse clients, from local individuals to college and pro athletes. My unique training approach challenges clients both physically and mentally, yielding incredible, safe, and efficient results.
