Bodybuilding was the stepping-stone to my career as a personal trainer and strength and conditioning coach. After my own trials and tribulations with weight loss, bodybuilding lead me to the answer to an issue I had struggled with for years: How can I feel better about me? The simple pursuits towards better mental, spiritual and physical health and wellness consequently lead me to my passion. That passion is helping others learn to feel good about themselves and teaching others how to transform their lifestyle so that they may forever feel better both mentally and physically.

I no longer compete, but I still lead a very active and healthy lifestyle that is more balanced and athletic than my bodybuilding competition days. I have since branched out into other training protocols so that I can broaden my knowledge base to provide a more integrated training approach for my clientele. This integrated training approach allows me to keep programs for clients fun and challenging – you will never be bored with an SVPT program! I want to teach you to UNLEASH YOUR INNER ATHLETE! I enjoy working with all fitness levels and types – from weight loss to sport specific, including MMA fighters and hockey players.

Since December 2006, I have been a mentoring student of strength and conditioning specialist and coach, Scott Abel. Scott took me under his wing to mentor me in his training protocols (Innervation Training, Metabolic Enhancement Training (MET) and Hybrid Training) and nutritional techniques. I am truly honored to continually be learning under someone who holds 20+ years of knowledge in the fitness industry, has 200+ titled athletes and whose dynamic protocols and methods change trends in physique development and enhancement. I feel that being taught by Scott far outweighs ANY certification and accreditation available because of his knowledge base, his passion, and his REAL approach to training and nutrition. He is very well respected and sought after in the fitness, health and wellness, and strength and conditioning industries. Scott has helped me become a better coach, trainer and individual. I am truly grateful to Scott!

I hold accreditation by the National Strength and Conditioning Association as a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT). I will also be obtaining my National Strength and Conditioning Association – CSCS (Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist), as well as certification through the American College of Sports Medicine. While I understand that certification is necessary to ensure a more complete education, I will always feel that my own experiences with training, research and trials have given me the confidence and knowledge to safely and effectively change others’ lives. Thanks to Scott’s extensive mentoring on his innovative protocols, I consider one of my specialties to be Scott’s MET (Metabolic Enhancement Training) and its variations.
