My love for weight training began over 30 years ago when I was introduced to the weight room as an 8th grade football player trying to get bigger for high school. I trained hard during my high school years and made significant gains in size and strength and loved seeing the results. While I chose not to continue playing football or to attend college, I never stopped lifting, eventually settling into my career in law enforcement where I recently retired. My love for teaching and training others started when my kids began playing sports and I joined the coaching staffs. They followed me into the gym as teens, became my first unofficial “personal training clients”, and are still in the gym today.

I truly believe you are never too young or old to be in the gym. It’s a lifetime commitment and nothing comes overnight. I love coming into ŌVOX every day and seeing people of all ages from teens to people in their 80s working out. I pride myself on teaching proper form and I’d love to work with people of any age who want to improve themselves.
