Introduction Text Currently residing in Oregon, after having relocated from Champaign, IL and Vancouver, BC, respectively. I''m originally from Tucson, Arizona. I''m an ACE (American Council on Exercise) Certified personal trainer, and I currently run an independent personal training business. In addition, I have trained at Steve Nash Fitness World, Kitsilano Workout and Momentum Fitness in Vancouver, British Columbia. I''m a keen believer in diversifying my skills, and therefore have obtained a wide variety of additional certifications, including ACE Group Fitness Instructor, ACE Cancer Exercise Trainer, RKC Level I and II Kettlebell, BCRPA Fitness Theory and Weight Training, IFPA Kinetic Anatomy, IFPA Sports Nutrition and IFPA Youth Fitness Instructor certifications. I have a keen background in biology, and worked as a terrestrial predator specialist before dedicating myself to the wellness industry. I specialized in wolves in particular, but also studied cougars, bears, coyotes, bobcats...essentially anything with paws and claws that hunts other creatures. Several years ago, I decided to broaden my horizons regarding my career-track, as I was looking to apply my biology background to the human machine as well as to wildlife. As a result, I''m now able to combine my scientific expertise with my bulletproof optimism as a personal trainer, nutrition consultant and life coach. I''m a firm believer of not only fitness of the physical self, but also of the health and wellness of one''s mind. It has become abundantly clear to me that regardless of any physical limitations that one must overcome, if the mind gives up, the body will surely follow. If you have any more questions or comments, feel free to drop a line. I''m looking forward to making your acquaintance! Oh, and stay tuned for some killer content!

Life is For Living, and I Wish to Maintain a Body and Mind That Can Help Me Accomplish My Goals and Dreams. Ongoing Goals (Physical): Maintain a level of fitness that not only allows me to chase any goal I set my mind to, but also represents all the ideologies I hold dear regarding health and wellness. Ongoing Goals (Emotional): Create more balance in my life. I want important aspects of my life to flourish, instead of watching that scale of good-fortune tip back and forth. Ongoing Goals (Occupational): To share all that I've learned in my life with others, helping them to achieve balance in their own lives. Paying it forward is the ultimate gratification, and is how I've chosen to leave a positive mark in this world.
