I was always active and did competitive sports as a kid, but somehow I really put on some weight in my pre-teen years.  I kept buying clothes that were a size too big because I just kept getting bigger!  I had no confidence in myself and I felt so isolated.  I finally made up my mind that I did not want to live my life like that.  I educated myself about nutrition and exercise at an early age.  I set small goals for myself.  As I reached each goal, my confidence soared.  I lost 36 lbs. and completely changed my life forever!

I know what it feels like to be overweight and to overcome obstacles that occur in every day life.  I want to help others live a healthy lifestyle and to live their life to the fullest.

I decided to enter bodybuilding competitions to challenge myself this year.  I remained focused and was able to reach my goals.  Now I am focused on improving my physique for a National show in 2010!  The most important thing I learned was that I have control of my body.  With hard work and determination anything is possible!

Now I stay active by playing with my kids and dogs, weight training and running.  I enjoy running in 5k and 10k's to constantly challenge myself.  I love many sports and enjoy being outside when the MN weather permits!

I will teach you and inspire you to reach your peak potential.  YOU have the power to live your life the way you desire to.  I will just be your guide.  If you decide to train with me I will invest 100% into you.  All I ask is that you do the same for yourself.  With that much support and effort, you will not fail.

I look forward to meeting you soon!
