.....I was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. My parents and
two sisters all live in Wisconsin, which is nice to visit but gets a
little too cold in winter. There's nothing quite like home in warm and
sunny Florida!
.....I loved
sports at an early age. Basketball, football and track and field were
my favorites. I was tall and skinny but extremely athletic in elementary
school. I started lifting weights in seventh grade. My motivation was
to become a better athlete. In high school, I played football and was
a member of the track team in which I ran the 200 and 400 meter races.
I was very active and remember always weighing 176 pounds throughout
my high school years. I then continued working out after graduation
and weightlifting became a part of my lifestyle. I started competing
in bodybuilding when I was 20 years old.
.....My
interest in health and fitness led me to study sport nutrition at the
University of Wisconsin. In 1993, I received a Bachelor of Science Degree
in Dietetics. I was now a Registered Dietitian and pursued a career
in the fitness industry by moving to Florida. Working out and personal
training became a way of life. I regularly competed in weightlifting
and bodybuilding competitions. My most notable victory was winning the
Mr. Jacksonville Bodybuilding Championships in 1998.
.....Today,
I own Total Fitness, a personal training service in Orlando, Florida.
Staying healthy and fit has made my life more complete. I look forward
to working out regularly and teaching others what I have learned. Reach
your goals by making health and fitness a part of your lifestyle.
