My Background
My life as an athlete and fitness enthusiast began at young age when I had aspirations to
become the next Mary Lou Retton. Growing up in southern Iowa didn’t provide me with the
training I needed to pursue an Olympic Gold in gymnastics, but it did give me a solid
foundation in commitment, athletics, and a passion for a healthy lifestyle. Throughout high
school and college I was actively involved in competitive and recreational sports including
softball, volleyball, track and basketball. Upon graduating, incorporating fitness as a
“grown-up” became a challenge. A career in the business world added stress, evening &
weekend work and an obstacle to incorporate fitness & nutrition into my busy lifestyle. I
immediately overcame the obstacle and creatively found ways to incorporate fitness and
health into my new life. During my business career, it became my mission to inspire other
busy professionals, moms & dads, to incorporate a healthy lifestyle into their hectic lives. In
2007, I had the opportunity to change careers and pursue my dream of becoming a Fitness
and Nutrition Professional. I have immersed myself in the continuing study of the body,
fitness and nutrition. It’s now my passion to inspire, motivate and educate others in
becoming the best they can be via fitness, nutrition, and a healthy lifestyle!
