I have a BS in exercise physiology as well as multiple certifications in the field. I have worked in this area for over 31 years with people from athletes to the general population. I most well known for working with 15 UFC Fighters and creating a certification system around that. I am a columnist for Train magazine and Fitness Trainer online. I have written and published over 250 articles in industry magazines. I'm a public speaker in the world of fitness and anti bullying. I have one book on the market " Always Picked Last " and working on my second now.
