Background

My name is Andy Chasse' and I'm a sophomore at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, TX. I'm working on my BS in Kinesiology with a minor in Business. I'm looking to go into Strength and Conditioning. I'm a competitive powerlifter and a member of the Sam Houston powerlifting team.

I've been a NASM-Certified Personal Trainer since June 2007 and I have worked for various gyms. I'm currently in the process of making the move to independent (check it out at active-performance.org!). I realized a couple of years back that I have a true passion for exercise and I can't ever see myself doing something outside of this field.
