About

Before I became certified in 1999, I spent the previous fifteen years sitting at a desk. I began spending more and more time working and less and less time keeping my body active and fit. In the early years, I still had time after work to play tennis or go to the beach or gym and keep active, but as my work responsibilities increased, I lost that time.

I had always been active and participated in sports right through college and I tried my best to remain active on weekends and by taking active vacations, but the pounds crept on anyway and soon I was 3 sizes larger than I am now and so lethargic, I didn’t want to do anything anymore.

At one point during those years I sought out the help of a personal trainer. Finding no one available to come to my home and not having the time to go to the gym, I contacted Steve Ilg, owner of Wholistic Fitness and author of "The Outdoor Athlete" and "Total Body Transformation". He put me on a workout regimen that I followed at home, and I got amazing results. This was my introduction to the personal training business, but more importantly I learned that to get results from exercise it had to be conducted the ‘correct’ way.

I became certified in 1999 through the NSCA, one of the best certifying organizations there is. I was required to take courses, study independently and take a grueling exam (for someone out of school for 16 years anyway) and in each three year period I’m required to take 12 continuing education credits. I choose courses by determining what’s new in the fitness industry in order to keep up to date. I’m also a Committee Member and active participant of the Fitness Professionals Association of New Hampshire. Additionally, I’m fully insured and certified in CPR for your protection. Recently I became a member of the Queen City Rotary, an organization in Manchester which raises funds for the local children in need.
