Q. Thanks for interviewing with us. Please give us your backstory. What led you on the path to Fitness & Nutrition? A. Sometimes I feel like I’m still unraveling that today. In over ten years there are still things now that remind me of why my conviction is so strong. Fitness was introduced to me in my late teens, and soon realized it needed to be combined with nutrition for a more well-rounded approach. I think all this kept my 4

interest in the beginning because there was always something I was challenged with and needed to figure out. It was sort of a thrill for me. But if I can go a bit deeper, when I was in high school my grandmother passed away from diabetes and other complications. I was devastated, and things shifted for me then.
Later, health and exercise science became my main focus of study and that was when I realized that many lifestyle diseases can be
prevented and even reversed. I learned that our eating and how we took care of ourselves played a major role in the trajectory of our lives.
The more I coach people the more I realize how susceptible we are to be outsourcing our health, and even it being hijacked by our poor eating and lifestyle habits. I believe my life’s work is truly helping people live their best lives through health, fitness, and helping them see a transformation.
