I was always an active kid, but I never imagined that fitness would be my career. I grew up on a sheep farm in rural Kansas, played on sports team in a small public school, and then had the opportunity to attend Yale University for undergrad. I studied classical music and assumed being a musician was my career path. After graduating, I moved to Boulder to work for the AmeriCorp program for a year before I got started with my "real"career. It was tough making ends meet as a classical musician, so I got certified as a personal trainer through NASM and started working with clients when I wasn't performing.  After a few years, I secured a management position at a large gym and quickly became passionate about the business of fitness. 

 

Over the past 20 years, I have explored every aspect of the fitness industry. If there is a hat to wear, chances are I've worn it. I've also had some inspiring opportunities to exercise my creative side, which you can learn more about on the Creator page. Regardless of the role I've played, I've always sought to both learn and coach. My commitment to my clients is that I will always give it to you straight, albeit with a soft delivery. Honesty, constructive communication is at the foundation of my work.

 

You can see a list of the things I've been honored to be part of below, but the biggest lesson I have learned is that you can't fake it with fitness. If you're unhappy with your personal fitness or the fitness of your business, it's time to make a change. Doing nothing or doing more of the same thing is not a good strategy. I'm here to help in a real, effective way. I don't sell pre-canned programs and motivational quotes. I sell 20+ years of experience in the field as a trainer who has worked with 1000s of clients, and a business leader who can show you how to actually turn a profit. I take your success personally, and I look forward to working with you.
