About
I am certified as a Personal Trainer through the NSCA, Performance Enhancement and Corrective Exercise Specialist certified through NASM and I also hold a Certified Sports Performance Coach credential through USA Weightlifting. I played prep football in the Santa Clarita Valley where I had a successful career at Valencia High School. During my prep years, I garnered such athletic honors as 1st Team All-League, All-SCV, All-CIF Scholar Athlete and was elected to play in the East vs. West All-Star game. After starting as a true freshman at Santa Barbara, my college career came to a halt after suffering an ankle injury in my sophomore season that would require two surgeries in as many years.
Following a long road to recovery, I took my shot at playing professional football having tryouts with the Los Angeles Avengers of the Arena Football League and I spent a short time with a team in the German Football League (GFL).
I have been certified and servicing the general population's fitness needs since 2005 and have been coaching athletes since 2006. Overall, I am dedicated to teaching athletes and normal folk alike how to train properly, eat well and more importantly, make lifestyle choices that promote their own personal health and well being. Some of my fitness highlights include several professional and collegiate athletic clients, creating the Body Basics in-home workout DVD and appearing on NBC's Wake Up Workout segment.
