About Me
At 57 years old, my workouts are more athletic than ever.
That statement surprises a lot of people.
Like many adults over 40, I've learned that staying strong isn't about trying to train like I did in my twenties. It's about training smarter, moving better, and respecting how the body changes with age.
My perspective is also shaped by something most trainers have never experienced.
I have spent years navigating three neurological conditions, including Superficial Siderosis, an ultra-rare neurodegenerative disorder, along with epilepsy and a congenital arachnoid cyst. These conditions have gradually affected my proprioception—my body's awareness of movement and position—impacting my balance, coordination, and stability.
Rather than allowing those challenges to define me, they transformed the way I think about exercise.
Every workout became an opportunity to learn.
Every setback taught me how the nervous system influences movement, balance, strength, and confidence.
Those lessons didn't just make me more resilient.
They made me a better coach.
Today, I continue to train at a high level, and I'm regularly recognized by fellow fitness professionals for my performance. My goal isn't to prove what's possible for me—it's to help my clients discover what's possible for themselves.
Whether you're simply looking to stay active after 40, regain confidence in your movement, or manage a neurological or chronic condition, I understand that every body tells a different story.
That's why every program I design is built around one person:
You.
My mission is simple:
To help you stay strong, independent, and confident for life.
