As a teenager, I was very active and enjoyed playing sports. In high school I was an All-State and state champion basketball player. After entering the workforce and getting married, I got a sedentary job and experienced deconditioning and weight gain over the course of several years. In 2000, I made a commitment to get back into shape. I worked hard and was so excited about the changes I had achieved that I decided to help other people do the same thing, so I decided to become a personal trainer. The following year, I earned personal training certifications with International Sports and Sciences Association, the National Academy of Sports Medicine, and the American Council on Exercise. I also earned a degree from BYU in Exercise Science and Wellness.
I enjoy a variety of physical activities and I create fitness programs ranging from training for conditioned athletes to basic, easy-to-follow programs for beginners. Although I work with a variety of people, I specialize in working with people in the 30 to 50-age range who are looking to lose weight or get into better shape.
