I got the fitness bug early in life. Playing baseball, basketball, PAL boxing and karate set the table for a lifetime of fitness. While coaching a middle school basketball team, I took education courses in strength and conditioning for athletes which helped our players quite a bit.

Through the Y, I train a fitness class at Down Town Overlook Hospital in Summit twice a week. Over the past few years I have trained many people in a variety of situations. Some of the classes were senior fitness, women’s strength, strength training for sports, special population, pre- and post- bariatric patients and anyone who is serious about getting fit for life.
