My passion for fitness training and personal development originates from my 12 years of competitive sports and a background in Psychology. I am a motivator and try to be a role model to everyone I train. I understand the struggles some clients face as they try to reach their health and fitness goals. Before I became a personal trainer, I struggled with my own weight as a child and teen, but I was determined to to make a change. It was only through dedication and hard work that I did. So I get it. It's not easy. If it was, everyone would be in great shape and I would be out of business. But I'm not and after reaching my own goals I am focused on helping my clients reach theirs.

My training philosophy is simple: give my clients the educational tools they need to facilitate weight loss, create individual work-outs aimed at building muscle strength, and, finally, I focus on eating habits --the core component of any successful body change -- by creating a healthy new eating lifestyle to suit any daily needs. It's a comprehensive approach that continues well beyond our time in the gym. Fitness is not only for the body, but the mind as well. Tackling the internal battles and weight loss motivations of a client are as important as the physical training sessions. My unique whole-lifestyle approach to fitness, combined with confidence boosting techniques consistently delivers dramatic results that last a lifetime.

I was born and raised in New York City and live in Los Angeles. I compete in Natural Bodybuilding Competitions yearly, taking 2nd place at the INBF Best of the West in 2006 and 3rd place at the Texas Shredder classic in Austin, Texas in 2007. I ride in the 565-mile AidsLifecycle biking event each year and will be running in my second 1/2 marathon and very first triathelon this spring.

That's my story, now I want to know yours. Start making your dreams a reality today by training with me and make us both proud with a body that's Pure Joy.
