I currently live in Palmdale, CA but grew up in Los Angeles. I used to be a nurse for several years until I got tired of how the hospitals puts too much on the shoulders of the nursing staff with very little reward. The stress level can get to you depending on which department you are in.

After nursing I focused more on Logistics and Warehousing in which I was a facility manager, Logistics Manager, Warehouse Manager, and an Operations Manager. I realized one thing about being in management after doing it for about 10 years, IT SUCKS !!!!!! I spend about 70% babysitting my employees and passing them tissues all day long because they are too busy crying and wining instead of doing their job and about 20% of the time doing my actual job duties. The other 10% of the time is wishing I was out of the industry and doing something that I really liked. So I decided that instead of wishing I was doing something else, I would have to make me do something else. Soemthing that I truly enjoyed. So I got out of the industry and am now focussing 100% on personal training.

I have always been interested in weight training, not weight lifting as there is a huge difference, ever since I was a young teenager and I focused on learning how the body works and the development of the mind-muscle connection and feeling how the muscles contract and stimulate all of the fibers in order to move a weight. With my nursing background it was faily easy to move into this field. I focused on learning more on nutrition and proper body mechanics and I applied them to some of my friends who compete in ameteur bodybuilding competitions. With the success of their placements I decided to go and get my personal training certifications and go full blown into this field.

I went through the PROPTA and was blessed enough to be trained one on one with the worlds best trainer Mr. Charles Glass. This man is a legend and truly deserves respect. He was kind enough to show me some of his tricks and techniques and open the mind to a full understanding of not just lifting the weight but moving the weight and understand how the body functions.

I currently train out of three locations which are Hollywood Gym in Hollywood, Powerhouse Gym in West Los Angeles, and Monster Fitness in Lancaster. What I offer my clients is a FREE gym membership to any of these gyms with a minimum of 6 sessions a month.
