About Coach

Born in Nassau Bahamas, my parents are British immigrants but only stayed there a year. I moved around a lot as a child but spent a good amount of time in Florida and Arizona, I have always been active and was an equestrian up until college, competing in many show jumping events. I had the opportunity to do a fox hunt in Florida which was a bucket list item for me. Running has always been my stress reliever and a good way to clear my head. I have done quite a few trail races and finished 3rd in my age group for the 2021 season. I’ve also experienced my share of injuries, 3 torn meniscus, a complete ACL tear, tennis elbow in both arms, plantar fasciitis, and multiple ankle sprains. I look back on those injuries and can see how they have made me a better coach. Not only because I know how it feels to start over with your strength and fitness, but also how to rehab and train people dealing with similar issues. Not just physically but mentally.

Turning Point

While I have done equestrian events and running, I did not do any strength training. A big turning point for me was when I hit my 40s and realized how much muscle and body strength I was losing as well as watching some family members' health dramatically decline as a result of not taking care of themselves. I did not want to end up like them and as a result, I joined a gym, hired a personal trainer, and eventually became a personal trainer and coach myself.

Motivation & Passion

My big passion for coaching is changing people's lives for the better. I am the result of coaches investing their time and knowledge into me and I want to do the same for others. I love to learn new skills and information that I can pass on to members and fellow coaches
