Every Journey Begins With A Single Step

I grew up as an overweight kid in a home rattled by divorce, using food as a crutch as the world around me collapsed.

During a difficult transition period in my life, the only constants were video games and the sugar-laden products that filled my fridge.

Food became an escape and my relationship with it spiraled out of control. My life-changing moment was when I went on a senior trip to a swimming pool. I walked out with my goggles and towel ready to take a dip when over 60 girls and boys began to laugh at my body and how fat I was.

If I had an invisibility cloak or a space shuttle I would have used either at this point. I developed a deep lack of self-confidence and a tremendous amount of self-loathing. I wasn’t comfortable in my own skin and I knew things needed to change. Not only how I looked on the outside, but my habits and my relationship with myself

I picked up a basketball, and that was my first introduction to consistent exercise. I eventually ended up playing the sport in college at SUNY New Paltz, where I studied biology and discovered the weight room. The physical changes that I experienced were amazing, but even more fascinating was how the process impacted the rest of my life. I built winning habits, shifted long-held behaviors and unearthed my true identity. I learned how to make delicious, healthy meals. I got strong and lean, and, in the process, learned how to create a positive mindset focused on self love, gratitude and empowerment. I walked in each room and owned it. For the first time, I loved who I was.

The experience taught me that the key to losing weight isn’t any one specific diet or exercise routine but learning how to own your life and your choices. How do you want to feel? What’s your mindset? And what habits and systems can we put in place to get you where you want to go? Inspired to create a more “whole-human” approach to fitness, I got my personal training certification and began to devour as much material on nutrition, exercise physiology, psychology, habit-building and mindfulness as I could.

More than ten years later, I’ve helped hundreds of men and women get stronger and leaner, have more energy and feel more at home in their own skin.

More importantly, I’ve helped them use their wellness journeys to reclaim their lives.

DO YOU EVER LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND FEEL INSECURE OR AS IF THE PERSON LOOKING BACK AT YOU DOESN’T REPRESENT WHO YOU TRULY ARE INSIDE?

HAVE YOU EVER STEPPED ON A SCALE AND FELT LIKE A FAILURE OR AS IF YOU WEREN’T ENOUGH?

ARE YOU FEELING STUCK IN YOUR PROCESS OR FRUSTRATED WITH BOUNCING FROM DIET TO DIET WITHOUT A SUSTAINABLE METHOD OF CHANGE?

If you answered yes to any of the questions above, I want you to know that I love you and that you are more than a number or your current circumstances.
