About

Raised in South Florida since I was able to walk, I've truly embraced the mantra of living the lifestyle...the South Florida lifestyle! With year-round great weather and lots of water in Florida, I've always been active. As a kid I liked to fish, water-ski, wake-board, jet-ski, swim, and surf. As I got older my interests gravitated towards running. I began doing 5K and 10K races for fun and then decided to finally run a marathon (1998) for the challenge. In 2000 I received my ACE certification to expand and share my passion for health and fitness and immediately began training clients at Ultima Fitness Downtown (West Palm Beach). In 2001, a friend of mine encouraged me to try triathlon. I did a sprint-distance triathlon and was hooked. Since then, I have competed in dozens of triathons and even completed three IronMan distance races (2005, 2007, 2012). My experience has been with fitness beginners, over-weight adults, seniors, and athletes training for specific goals. In a gym setting, I utilize everything available i.e. machines, free-weights, resistance bands, Bosu balls, Bosu discs, circuit training, and dynamic stretching techniques. Training sessions focus on proper kinesiology & biomechanics AND are not only effective but, motivating and fun. When training outside (walking, running, or cycling), I incorporate aerobic cross-training, interval training, speed-work, Fartlek training, and stretching.
