About Me
As a child I had a very high energy level, so I decided to get involved in several different sports such as gymnastics, martial
arts, and boxing. My body responded rapidly and this motivated me to start weight training and then competing in bodybuilding. I started winning every contest I entered and wanted to become a professional bodybuilder, so I moved to Santa Monica CA and started working out at Golds Gym. This was the same gym all the professionals worked out at such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Franco Columbo, Lou Ferrigno, Ken Waller, Robby Robinson, Ed Corney, and Serge Nubret. I was devastated when I found out most of the pros used substances and I decided not to go down that road because I deeply valued my health.
I moved back to SF to continue my passion of training and competing. I eventually became a trainer which allowed me to pass on my wealth of knowledge and expertise and get people excited about improving their health and fitness. I'm convinced adopting healthy lifestyle changes helps you take control of your life and boosts confidence.
I truly believe I was meant to become a personal trainer because I have a complete understanding of the human anatomy
and how to develop muscle tissue. I even created my own exercises which other trainers have adopted into their own
training protocol.
I am certified through NESTA and have been a trainer since the 1980s. Through the American Heart Association I hold certifications in First Aid, CPR, and AED.
