I grew up in north central New Jersey. Played the usual highschool sports mostly baseball and track. After highschool went to trade school to become a union sheetmetal worker which i did for rouhly 26 1/2 years. 19 in New Jersey and 7 in San Antonio Texas. I have always competed in or coached sports outside of my sheetmetal career and in 2010 became a ISSA Certified personal trainer and started working as a trainer in the box gyms in 2011. I was a full time trainer by 2013-14 and have fullfilled the requirements as a ISSA Elite trainer and am on my way to make ISSA Master Trainer by July of 2022.
