Personal History: I have been involved in teaching fitness since 1983 where group fitness was pre-choreographed and a dance craze! From step to spinning to slide to mind body classes, I have taught every format and fusion class to date; plus made up a few of my own - Like Kick Boxing classes in the water! I love the changes I see in both people’s faces and bodies over the years.

Workout Philosophy: My first view of fitness was getting paid to workout... But like most under twenty somethings, I realized the value of movement on both the body and mind. Opening my first fitness studio called MBC Fitness (Mind Body Connection), I realized how fortunate I was to be involved in a growing space in helping people live their best lives. I have seen people lose weight, change their bodies and best of all change their lives with the power of movement.

Success Story: I have many stories I would love to share but when you can help someone else be an evangelist in this industry... that’s the best feeling.. You know you’re making a difference when your students are then the next teachers. It’s not just about seeing someone lose 100 pounds (which Dave did) but to see him then take on the role of leadership and inspiration... that’s the best!
