Background
Certified Personal Trainer through the American Council on Exercise (A.C.E) the #1 nonprofit fitness certifying organization in the world. I am also studying to become an A.C.E. certified Lifestyle and Weight Management Consultant. A.C.E is highly respected and recognized among fitness professionals and is considered by many as the gold standard of fitness certifications among trainers without a college degree in Sports Medicine.
I'm currently in my last academic semester at the University of Southern Maine where I will receive a Bachelors of Science in Health Fitness within the Sports Medicine Department.
Besides my extensive academic knowledge on the human body, exercise, and nutrition, I also have both practical and personal experience in the field. In addition to having trained clients with various goals and various health issues at gyms and health clubs throughout the Greater Portland area, I have completed my collegiate personal training internship.
I have been resistance training for more than 7 years and have transformed my body from a lanky teenager who got made fun of for being skinny to 6' 225 pounds with approx. 10% bodyfat.
I am also a member of the North American Bodybuilding Federation (a drug-free organization), and am planning on doing my first show sometime in the near future.
