Fitness has been a part of my life as far back as I can remember. As a kid I remember my grandmother doing weight watchers and aerobic videos. My mother was in the Army. I remember seeing soldiers running around base in Missouri doing pushups. It left a lasting impression on me. I've always been obsessed with pushing my body. My brother and I would compete to see who could carry the most groceries, the biggest suitcase, or the largest bag of garbage. In high school I played football, basketball and threw the discus in track. As a inside linebacker I made all state my junior and senior years. We went undefeated two years in a row. After graduating i received a full scholarship to play football at East Tennessee State University. I played football there for 3 years but after having a child I left school and got a job working at a max security prison. I work there for six years. Working there was very sedentary and not very rewarding. I decided to pursue a career in personal training. I went back to ESTU changed my major from business to exercise science and finished my degree. I also have a certification through the national strength and conditioning association as a personal trainer. I've done 6 marathons,15 half marathons and logged over 11,000 miles on the Nike run club app. In 2010 I created my on personal training business called About Face Fitness. About face means to turn around. Its a military term meaning to make a 180 degree turn and march in the other direction.. I've been helping people change the direction they're going in with their health and physical fitness for the last 11 years.
