Originally from Colorado, I worked in the New York City fitness industry for over 8 years. Since moving to DC in 2009, I’ve been warmly received by the residents of the Adams Morgan/Dupont Circle area of North West DC.

Back in 2001, I found myself unemployed and overweight. My fitness ”wake up call” came when I watched one of those “E True Hollywood Stories” featuring Brad Pitt. I realized he was 10 years older than i was and looked incredible! I finally decided to use my gym membership. I went in with the knowledge gained from my athletics background and an “I will not fail” attitude. Within the first 3 months, I lost almost 40 pounds. Other gym members took notice and asked for my help, and the rest is history.
