“I have over thirty years experience in the professional fitness industry as a General Manager, Fitness Manager, and Sales Manager. Over the course of those years I have empowered young men and women with the knowledge and wisdom to motivate themselves and others to get fit and to be healthy. I collaborated with various local high schools in setting up strength and conditioning programs for their basketball players, including O’Dea, Franklin, Garfield, Saint Joseph’s, Seattle Prep, The Yes Foundation, and Lakeside. I also conducted my own strength and conditioning program for athletes that played baseball, football and track and have also worked with various other athletes from high schools across the Seattle-Tacoma area, some of which are now playing or have played collegiate and professional basketball.
My work also included mentoring, teaching, and empowering youth at the Rotary Boys and Girls Club for over ten years. As a teacher and mentor I taught a computer technology class that included over forty youth (ages 12 to 18), some of which now work for Boeing, Microsoft, and various other technology companies around the country. I have spent much of my adult life in the background helping others learn the importance of being a good person, how to work hard, how to maximize the opportunities of the educational system, and how to take care of the body and mind in order for them to lead a long, healthy, productive life.”
