About Coach

I have always been a huge hockey player growing up and lacrosse came a little bit later to me. I grew up at the rink almost every single day whether it was for hockey or my mom’s figure skating. I have a brother who is 2 years younger than me so every other year he would end up on my team and in high school and college would be on my team again for 3 years. I also have a sister who figure skates competitively for Team USA. This instilled a love for the game into me that never went away leading me to go into college to play collegiate roller hockey at Endicott College which may sound funny. I had never heard of it either but it was the best 4 years a of hockey I’ve ever played.

Turning Point

I came into fitness because of my size. Growing up I was always the smallest kid in every grade I was in or team I was on. I had to work twice as hard to keep up and it wasn’t until I was a junior that I finally grew and my hard work paid off. I want kids who come in to feel like they have a chance to make that team or a chance to get the puck when they go into the corner with someone bigger. This is stuff I struggled with growing up and I know I’m not alone. Starting young with training and building that strength and especially confidence before they grow will be so beneficial in the long run and likely put them ahead of the game.

Motivation & Passion

I am motivated by seeing the success of a client. Seeing a client set a goal and then complete something they may not have thought was possible is a great feeling. It shows you that your body is capable of so many things you may have thought were beyond you but with the help of a trainer you can get back to that point and those goals you set!
