My journey in the health and fitness industry started 20 years ago and I'm going to give you a quick back story as to how it started...I was over weight unmotivated and very unhappy as a teen...Till one day I was hit with the news that my Grandmother had been diagnosed with a life threatening disease...Wow!! this hit me like a ton of bricks.
My grandmother had the toes of her right foot amputated and her left leg had been cut off up to her knee.
Later my dad would succumb to the same disease, but not only did my dad have his right leg amputated and toes cut off, he had a pacemaker and two kidney transplants....My dad died at the young age of 63. I have since lost three aunts and two uncles and a grand father.
I was devastated to say the least..And the thing that was tough for me to deal with was that it was so easily preventable with just a healthy lifestyle...It was at this moment that would forever change my life....I began to think just how short and precious life really is...The way I saw it was that I was faced with 2 choices..1 - keep doing what I was doing and get the same results of being fat and unhappy or get my ass in gear and stop making excuses as to why I was fat and unhappy.
One year later I had lost 20lbs and completely transformed my life...I had come to realize what my passion in life was, and that passion was health & fitness...Fueled with the passion and motivation to inspire my family and others to lead a more healthy lifestyle so they can prevent these diseases..Fitness had become an OBSESSION of mine...so much so I went to college and got certified as a personal trainer & group fitness instructor both land & water and a speciality certification with Senior fit.
And the rest is history.
Committed to your success
