The summer of 2016 found me divorced, depressed, and a shell of my former self. I was 30 pounds underweight. Friends would stop me on the street asking if I was sick. Realizing I needed to make a change, I found fitness again. I regained control of my nutrition and exercise regimens in a way that fostered my personal growth and took me to a place of achievement that the 2016 me would have thought impossible.

Whew! Now that I have that off my chest, a little about me. I am a father of three beautiful girls, ages 23, 19, and 13. I am an avid hiker, a student of stoicism, and fitness enthusiast. I am a former elementary and middle school teacher, high school coach, and college volleyball official. I am currently a Level 2 CrossFit instructor and founded Recovery Fitness, a nonprofit teaching fitness and nutrition to substance abuse recovery groups. Over the past 20 years I have coached or taught both fitness and nutrition to groups and individuals ages 4 to 99.

I chose to be a part of the My Body Tutor family because their methods of helping individuals meet their goals matched the way I reached my goals. Daily accountability, guidance, and consistency was what I needed during my journey and what led to my success, and those things are what attracted me to My Body Tutor. MBT doesn't just focus on the "what" but the "why." Building a relationship with a MBT coach and learning the "why" is something you won't find anywhere else. I want to be a part of your "why." I want to be a part of your success story.
