Losing weight takes work. The anguish of not being happy with yourself is a heavy burden. Body positivity, while well-intentioned, can sometimes feel like lying to yourself—it doesn’t always make you feel better. I grew up in a fitness-oriented family but struggled with my weight. Frustrated but determined, I took control. I dedicated myself to the gym, transformed my struggles into strength, and watched as the scale moved from 250 to 215 pounds. Just when I thought I was on the right track, the doctor told me I was pre-diabetic. There needed to be more than exercise alone. With the help of a nutrition coach, I revamped my diet, embraced a macro-based approach, and, later, intermittent fasting. I shed an additional 35 pounds and brought my blood sugars under control. Seeing friends and family struggle with health issues is heartbreaking. These stories drove me to go further. I’m determined to guide others to find their path to better health. From the kid who couldn’t do pull-ups to a dad who regularly takes the fam rock wall climbing, I have lived the struggle. I'm here to guide and support you if you're ready to transform your life on your terms. From a high school athlete who loves ice cream to a wellness enthusiast, my journey embodies the spirit of Power Peak Wellness: Reaching Your Highest Potential. I've always valued an active lifestyle, but my real challenge was nutrition, a quiet yet powerful foe. With over 25 years of experience in the tech industry, my life took a significant turn at 48. Weighing 205 pounds at 6 feet tall, I faced a critical moment with a pre-diabetic diagnosis. The diagnosis was not just a hurdle; it was a wake-up call. I began a life-changing journey with a health program provided by my insurance, guided by a committed coach, and following the MyPlate guidelines. I reshaped my body to a healthier 195 pounds, leaving pre-diabetes behind. The journey didn't stop there. I overcame a plateau by exploring intermittent fasting, bringing my weight down to a lean 180 pounds. This process enlightened me that wellness isn't just about weight loss; it's about enhancing one's life in every aspect. Merging technology with lifestyle improvement, I've gained certifications in Personal Training, Nutrition, Strength and Conditioning, and Online Coaching. Transforming my passion into a profession, I've moved beyond fitness sales. Today, I dedicate myself to providing Total Package Programming for those determined to achieve their fitness goals.
