I created FitNation to be more than just workout plans. We are assisting our clients in developing a healthy lifestyle, teaching and encouraging them every step of the way until they accomplish their goals.
I was born on May 31, 1970. I have discovered that the fountain of youth is found in regular exercise and good nutrition. Getting healthy has changed my life in so many ways. I want to share my success with others, and motivate those who have the aspiration to become a better, stronger version of themselves.

Certified Personal Trainer, Strength & Conditioning, Weight Management, Fitness Model, Professional Athlete with the International Federation of Bodybuilders (IFBB).
My love for athletics began in middle school. By the time I reach high school, I was a star cheerleading, and exceeded in volleyball, track and basketball, and one year of college basketball.
I decided to challenge my athleticism by becoming a bodybuilder in 2010. I fell in love with bodybuilding, and I believe this is where my true love for fitness. Bodybuilding gave me a better awareness of the benefits of eating clean and strength training. All I wanted to do was share my experience and what I have learned with others. Becoming a personal trainer has giving me a sense of satisfaction. Whether it’s helping a client lose a few inches off their waist, or a few more added to their dead-lift, is second to none. But more importantly, I get to promote healthy lifestyle changes that will help others develop good habits for a lifetime.

I am a certified personal trainer, nutritionist, and competitive athlete dedicated to helping others transform their health, mindset, and lives, both on and off the stage.
Bodybuilding changed everything for me. What began as a physical challenge quickly became something much deeper. It gave me structure, discipline, and a powerful drive to constantly grow and become better than I was yesterday.
My coaching philosophy focuses on building health from the inside out. Through intentional training, strategic nutrition, and supporting the body’s internal foundation, I help individuals create sustainable, lasting results. I place a strong emphasis on gut health and internal balance, understanding that true physical performance, recovery, and overall wellness begin with a healthy digestive system. True health goes beyond appearance, it's about feeling strong, energized, balanced, and confident in your own body.
My mission is to empower people to take control of their health and discover what they are truly capable of. I believe in showing up every day with the mindset of becoming better than yesterday, because today is a gift and tomorrow is never guaranteed.
“We only get one life to live. The word can’t has no place in a life built on discipline, growth, and possibility.”
