My journey into MOVEMENT RESTORATION didn’t start in a gym – it began with my own challenges.

Persistent musculoskeletal pain and discomfort after my deployment to Afghanistan with the Marine Corps, coupled with a series of minor injuries, sparked my curiosity about restoring balance and improving movement. Traditional rehabilitation helped, but something was missing. I realized that just because the body is healed doesn’t mean it functions optimally. That realization shaped my passion – not just helping people recover but empowering them to move, perform, and live better.

After earning my AS in business management, I enrolled at Syracuse University to pursue a degree in Health and Exercise Science, where I deepened my understanding of movement mechanics while competing as a Division 1 wide receiver.

At the same time, I began personal training, specializing in movement restoration, strength development, and posture correction. To further refine my expertise, I earned my NSCA Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) certification, along with certifications in Functional Movement Systems (FMS) and Y-Balance Testing, solidifying my approach to optimizing movement and performance.

I was preparing for a CFL tryout in March 2020 when the world shut down. The COVID-19 pandemic not only canceled my flight but also all further tryouts and dreams of a career as a professional football player. Despite the setbacks, I adapted – working with a small number of clients outdoors while continuing to prioritize strength, endurance, and mobility in challenging times.

Witnessing how the sedentary lifestyle forced upon many by the pandemic severely impacted people’s movement and overall health inspired me to take a different path. This led to the launch of WORKSITE FITNESS, where I help individuals restore movement, build strength, and develop deep-rooted confidence in their body’s natural abilities.

My clients often experience reduced pain, better posture, and more efficient, effortless movement – sometimes in just minutes. As mobility and alignment improve, strength returns, confidence builds, and overall performance increases.

Whether it’s sprinting faster or simply feeling more capable in daily life – improved alignment, mobility, and control are just a few benefits you’ll notice when working together. Many of my clients also report feeling more energized, focused, and yes – losing weight, too!!
