Biography

My lifestyle started to change June 20th, 2000. I watched my father go through open heart surgery in the morning and my mother pass away that night from cancer. We all were smokers. I decided I did not want to die young. I wanted a healthy life and be around for my children and my grandchildren. I stopped smoking and drinking, and began an exercise and nutrition program. I lost 55 pounds of fat and transformed my body. I became lean and fit.

Since fitness is my passion, I became a certified Personal Trainer through the N.A.S.M. (The National Academy of Sports Medicine) I can empathize with people who struggle with weight and body issues. I’ve been there, done that, and have that t-shirt.

I live the lifestyle and practice what I preach! Fitness is a way of life.
