Who the hell am I?

I am a Personal Trainer that specializes in 3 Month Body


Transformations. I also know a thing or two about overcoming
obstacles. When diagnosed with Epilepsy in 2006 my doctors told me
my days of working out were over. Not accepting this for an answer I
developed strategies and training protocols that enabled me to workout
the way I wanted to. I have taken this same determination and applied it
to helping my clients overcome obstacles of their own.

I train clients out of Ron’s World Fitness in Milltown, NJ and I also train
clients online.
