I started really working out in college while on the track team as a pole vaulter. I started seeing the changes in my body, and fitness became a big part of my lifestyle. Not just for the physical aspect but also the mental aspect as a stress reliever and a way to ground myself.

I work out 5 days a week mixing in traditional strength training with functional cross training. I love combining my interests in fitness and the outdoors, and I get outside as much as possible. Hiking, climbing, telemark skiing and mountain biking are my favorite activities. They feed my mind, body and spirit. I enjoy getting my clients outdoors and
showing them that a good full-body workout doesn't have to just take place within the four walls of a gym.

My diet consists of fresh fruit, vegetables and wheat grass . . . I love my wheat grass. I also eat a lot of chicken and fish and the occasional burger. Peanut M&M's are my down fall. I believe in the philosophy of a life of moderation not deprivation. Just don't over do it.

Finding what you really enjoy doing to work your body is half the battle. Get and stay active. Being active along with a positive attitude is the fountain of youth as many people in Aspen have discovered.

I became interested in total Wellness back in college. I started to move more into a holistic approach to a person’s health and fitness when I earned certification as a Wellness coach in 2004. My certification helped me take my personal training to a
higher level. I help clients look at their total wellness as stress management, weight management, strength training, cardio, nutrition and other areas they feel fall under their Wellness umbrella. I enjoy helping clients develop a Wellness vision for themselves and work with them to achieve that vision. The Aspen Club and Spa is a great facility for a person to reach their best.
