The best part of my job is working with young athletes and helping them realize their athletic potential.

My favorite thing to do outside of work is I’m currently a grad student, so all my time outside of work is spent planning for the classes I teach or doing course work for my own classes.

I recharge by playing my guitar, drawing, or taking random pictures and playing with them in Photoshop.

My favorite sport to watch is baseball. Go Cubs, go!

My favorite sports to play are baseball and golf.

My favorite sports hero is Ryne Sandberg.

My role models are my parents.

My favorite form of exercise is strength training and sports.

My favorite group fitness class is group fitness isn’t my thing.

My drinks of choice are Dr. Pepper and water.

Early bird or night owl? Night owl!

I decided to help athletes move to the next level because I didn’t always have good guidance from my coaches in the past, but always felt that it was important for an athlete to be helped on their path to success.

One training/conditioning mistake a lot of athletes make is trying to do things too fast before they can perform them properly.

Before I start training an athlete it’s important to Evaluate their overall athletic ability and assess their training goals.

I most enjoy working with athletes that want to work hard to achieve their potential.

The athletes I’ve been most pleasured to work with are those who want to give 100%.

I most enjoy watching athletes improve through hard work and dedication.

I enjoy helping athletes achieve their goals and establish new ones once they’ve been reached.

My least favorite training exercise is distance running.

Strength or cardio? Definitely strength.
