If you are reading this, then it is safe to assume that you have a desire to better yourself. Whether it be your body, your health, your performance, or just your overall well-being, you have a goal in mind. Your success in reaching that goal is my passion.

It's a passion that began when I was very young. I started training to augment my performance on the football field. That is when I got bit by the fitness bug. While successfully competing as a football athlete, I followed my passion for sports and physical performance, majoring in Health Fitness at Springfield College. During this time I really became somewhat obsessed with Anatomy and Physiology and achieved a number one ranking for my major within my class. While I received my education through classroom and course work, I also sought an education in the "real world," working with athletes and fitness enthusiasts of all types at major health clubs. Immediately after college, I became a ISSA Certified Fitness Trainer as well as a NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. Since then, I have acquired many other specialty certifications including ones in Performance Nutrition, Sports Conditioning, Exercise for Older Adults, and many more.

For over ten years now, I have been helping individuals from all walks of life create measurable results in their physiques and performance. I am now considered a respected authority within the fitness community. I have published numerous articles for magazines and websites, appeared on radio shows, conducted seminars, and am the owner/head trainer of Western Connecticut's premiere fitness service, Cutting Edge Personal Training.

My on-going mission in life is to help individuals achieve a fit and healthy body, perform at their highest levels, and achieve a greater sense of energy and well-being. If you desire any of these things, together we can make it happen!
