My work in the exercise industry has refined my personal values and helped me become a better family member and friend. Read more about my personal background and WHY I chose exercise…
I am on the mission to reverse trends in the chronic pain and chronic disease epidemics by bridging the gaps between the medical and exercise industries. I will advocate for and support the movement toward more proactive health care to compliment the current system of reactive care. My vision is a community-based, personalized restorative exercise service/center partnered with medical networks to deliver daily physical activity and lifestyle interventions that will:
-
instill value in and foster independence with physical literacy,
-
compliment and optimize prognoses,
-
improve and enhance recovery for injury and illness,
-
minimize post-care expenses and maximize medical outcomes, and
-
enhance quality of patient care via measurable and reproducible physiological adaptations.

I am personally and professionally committed to continue growing in my experience and knowledge of the health and wellness industries.
