My journey to a fulfilling Health & Fitness career has been both a challenging and
rewarding one of self-discovery and growth. It started in my youth, progressed
through my formative years and into adulthood. Today, the journey continues.
Sports have been an integral part of my life since I was a young participant and
competitor. Basketball, Baseball, Karate, Boxing and Weight Training were my
primary focus and where I excelled. Highlights of my competitive years include:
· Baseball, UMass Boston – Division 1, 1999-2003
· Kenpo Karate - Black Belt National Champion, 1997 & 1998
· Kenpo Karate - Black Belt Regional Champion, 1997-2004, & 2015
· 2 nd Degree Black Belt, 2015
· IKKA Full Register, 2015
· Shorin-Ryu Karate – Brown Belt Champion, 1994 & 1995
· Boxing – Golden Glove Champion, 2000 & 2001
My fitness journey took a detour in 2004 when several close family members and
coaches passed away. Bottling up the devastating losses led to anxiety and
depression. I was feeling stuck and as if there was NO Way Out! Food, alcohol and
drugs were where I found comfort and how I coped. This destructive behavior hit
my health hard. Gaining over 100lbs resulted in high blood pressure and high
cholesterol. I was slowly killing myself.
August 3, 2009, the day my beautiful son was born, was when it all changed.
Holding Alex Jr. in my arms and seeing his eyes looking up at me, made me realize I
wanted my son to not just look at me but to look up to me. My purpose, my pride,
my joy, Alex Jr. changed my life.
Around this time a mentor pulled me aside and said, “Without risk, there are no
rewards; without passion, there are no results.” – my motto and how I now live my
life.
Thus, from the depths of self-destruction, I came to realize that I could turn my life
around towards a positive and healthy one. The challenge was at 260lbs how to lose
the 100lbs I had gained. Through nutritional changes, regular and consistent works,
meditation, as well as lots of determination, I accomplished my goal in under one
year.
During my transformation I realized I have a love and passion for helping others
achieve their fitness, athletic and nutritional goals. I am blessed to have this
opportunity to help people become stronger, leaner, faster and more confident.
Health and fitness saved my life and now I show my clients how they can live a
better and healthier life. My education and knowledge obtained over the years have
