I was Born and raised in NYC, I discovered at a young age that being a scrawny, skinny kid was a disadvantage in the sports I loved. It wasn't until I became one of 'the few, the proud' and enlisted as a U.S. Marine that I not only changed physically but mentally. "Marine Corps boot camp was the hardest thing I have ever done, but once I graduated I felt strong, confident and like I could accomplish anything I set my mind to." Thus began my love for physical fitness. ?20 years later, I continues to train as intensely but smarter using High Intensity Training (HIT). With HIT, My stays in phenomenal shape and ready to do anything active such as run, bike, swim, lift weights, play a sport and keep up with my active kids. I have a degree in Physical Education and Physical Therapy. NSCA Certified Personal Trainer. My favorite quote, I love and live for the gym and firmly believe that any women or man's finest hour and his greatest fulfillment of all is that moment when he has worked his heart out and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.
