I became a lawyer because I thought it was my calling. By 15, I was convinced it was my future. I spent 8 years in law, even built my own firm.

But the reality? It wasn’t what I expected.

The system was broken. Mentorship was non-existent. The industry was male-dominated. And no matter how hard I tried, I never truly fit.

Walking away wasn’t easy. It felt like failure. But it wasn’t.

Because in truth, my passion had always been elsewhere.

I grew up with challenge after challenge:

↳ Knock-kneed and major surgery at 6 (I had to relearn how to walk)
↳ Scoliosis with chronic back pain
↳ Severe IBS and acid reflux
↳ Wrist arthritis that led to a partial fusion and bone graft

Those setbacks forced me to explore the power of health, strength, and resilience. Over time, it became clear: fitness wasn’t just something I loved. It was my purpose.

Today, I coach men and women in their 30s and 40s who feel stuck. The pants are tighter. The belly’s bigger. Energy is lower. Strength feels like a thing of the past.

I know that story—because I’ve lived it.

And I also know this: you don’t need perfection, endless diets, or 2-hour gym sessions. You need a simple, structured approach to get strong again. To build the energy, resilience, and confidence that carries into your 40s, 50s, and beyond.

That’s what I do.

If you’re ready to get stronger, fitter and leaner than you ever thought possible, and make your 40s your best decade yet—let’s connect.

I have 25+ years of experience in Coatings (Interior, Exteriors, Walls, Flooring, Decks and much more) and Printing & Packaging (Inkjet, Paper, Films, Flexible Packaging and much more.) 
 
 
Skills:
