I chose a Sports Medicine/Athletic Training major when an ankle injury sustained senior year in high school threatened my season. The doctor told me I would be out for 6 weeks. I went to the Certified Athletic Trainer and through structured rehabilitation and proper use of modalities, was back on the court in 1 week. I knew then and there what I wanted to learn. I started working in the sports medicine field in 1999. I have been fortunate enough to work as Head Athletic Trainer for a championship high school in the Miami area, at the collegiate level and was able to gain some experience overseas. I made the easy transition to personal training in 2003 and have since made it my career. I was able to take my rehabilitation and sports specific knowledge and apply it to the gym giving clients not only what they want but also what they need. In starting crossfit in February of '09 I found the perfect compliment to my training style. I saw my mind and body transform in no time at all. The competitive atmosphere made me want to succeed and I have never looked back. I am looking forward to combining all that I have learned so that we can develop stronger, leaner, faster, better athletes every day WOD by WOD.
