The body, how it, works and how to fix it have been a lifelong interest to me. I became a trainer to reach more people and assist them on their journey. My own journey has been a challenging, one that I still continue today. I had a doctor tell me I would never play sports again at 17. With hard work I went on to play collegiate softball.
