While serving in the U.S. Marine Corps he served as the Non-Commissioned Officer in charge of weight control and fitness conditioning with the task of ensuring his fellow Marines met and maintained weight and fitness standards. This is when I first became interested in personal training as I began training individual Marines to help them reach their fitness goals. This assignment won me several letters of commendations from my superior officers for my outstanding service and knowledge. I also had the opportunity to managed one of Camp Pendleton’s fitness centers. Upon the completion of second tour of duty in the Marines I became certified as a personal trainer through the American Council on Exercise and began taking on clientele in Louisville, KY. During that time I contracted out to several leading personal training companies and began my own personal training business. I waas able to work with clientele of a variety of populations to include those with crippling arthritis and those who were wheelchair bound. One of my clients even went on become a personal trainer herself after having experienced firsthand how it helped her obtain her fitness goals. When I moved back to San Diego I began training clients in their homes again as well as training in large fitness centers throughout the area. I have been the guest speaker at 24 Hour Fitness on three separate engagements where I spoke on topics such as weight loss principles and goal setting. I also taught numerous fitness workshops at Bally Total Fitness that covered a wide variety of fitness issues and mentored many new trainers in their first months as trainers. I then joined the team at Fitness Together Del Mar in 2005 for a six month period. In January of 2006 I launched Fitness2GO Personal Training into full-time status. Since then I have trained hundreds of folks who have benefited from my knowledge of exercise and nutrition as well as my unique style of training. When not training I enjoys working out with my wife or rough-housing with my three kids. -Qualifications Certified Personal Trainer, American Council on Exercise Certified TRX Trainer, Fitness Anywhere, Inc.
