Training Philosophy: Work hard and never give up. The word "can't" isn't in my dictionary, so please don't say it!
Personal Interests: I live out in the country and I love to farm. My family raises beef cattle and we have a goat named Mamma Tilly! My favorite season is the fall because it's harvest time and I also love when the leaves change color.

Major: Exercise Science

Training Philosophy: I want my workouts to be fun and inspiring for my clients, not something they should dread. I believe there is no "one size fits all" for exercise and each person needs a routine that is tailored to his or her goals. If you dedicate yourself and stay positive, a healthy lifestyle follows.
Personal Interests: I spend leisure time watching or playing sports. I follow the Kentucky Wildcats and Detroit Red Wings and golf and play pick-up basketball. I have a strong interest in Olympic style weightlifting.
