It all started back in 1996 when my father was a Paramedic with a local ambulance service and I decided to do a ride-a-long. 

I can remember my father’s pager going off and he was being called to a scene for a 42 year old man that was having chest pains. We jumped into the ambulance and headed to the scene with the lights flashing and the sirens blaring. What a rush, my heart was beating a hundred miles per hour. When we arrived on scene a young lady came running over to us stating “help him, please help my dad, he just stopped breathing”.  My father and the other paramedics dove right in to save this man’s life. I watched as one of the paramedics started CPR and another paramedic cut the man’s shirt open and hooked up the defibrillator.

Just then I heard one of the paramedics say “Stand Clear”, just then he defibrillated the man, which brought the man’s heart rate back. He had a pulse again. They continued rescue breathing and we headed to the hospital. 

Two days later my father told me he had word that the guy had lived and was doing well. This is when I decided I wanted to help people. So I became licensed as an Emergency Medical Technician and joined the local ambulance service. I worked as an EMT for about a year and a half when I started to find a common trait among people. Many of my patients had diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, back injuries, knee injuries and many other common problems, which could all be prevented through proper exercise and nutrition.

That was when I decided to set a new goal in life. My goal was to go to school to become a personal trainer to prevent people from gaining weight and developing medical diseases. 

The rest is history.  I have been personal training since 1999 and I have helped tens of thousands of people transform their bodies and now I want to help you too!
