Growing up I played a lot of baseball and soccer; in middle school I started Track & Field which I competed in through school along with football. I went D1 and competed in the throws for Wagner College in the Northeast Conference (NEC) where I still hold the Freshman record, School record and NEC record in the Discus.  There I fell in love with the weightroom, explosive movements, lifting heavy and recovering properly with injury preventative exercise.

After graduating from college with a B.S. in Pre-Med Biology I continued to compete for an additional year with hopes of qualifying for the 2024 Olympic trials. In 2023 after being a meter shy of that mark I decided to hang up my shoes and take up my seat in a Doctor of Physical Therapy program and move forward with getting engaged and married to my high school sweetheart. This past year I’ve hit the books and grown more in love with anatomy and corrective exercise and spent this past spring coaching the throwers at my local high school where my love for instructing was born.

There I had the pleasure of coaching the throws as well as in the weightroom teaching Olympic lifts, and standard lifts (squat, bench etc). I really enjoyed taking my athletes through explosive plyometrics including variations of jumps, med ball throws, sprints and mobility. I enjoyed plyos so much I took the opportunity to further coach HS football players and wrestlers along with working with a basketball player to increase his vertical jump which we were very successful at doing.

I have an intensive history working as a physical therapy aide at a number of PT clinics where I learned treatment methods such as cupping therapy and exercise methods to bring healing to various ailments and pain relief deepening my understanding of the PT motto, “Exercise is Medicine”

I have my CPR BLS Certification and APTA Student Physical Therapy Member Cert.

I am very excited to Train and Coach you ŌVOX Gym!
