About Mountain Fitness & Recovery
 

Like many others, my fitness journey has had its ups and downs.  I was bullied for being overweight as a young child.  This was mentally debilitating, yet overcoming these false projections from others has become monumental in my current and future success, and has helped create the passion for coaching/supporting/training others with compassion, persistence, and love.    Many blessings have come to my life from following the 3 P's (Passion ~ Persistence ~ Perseverance).   I realized quickly my body would not fail as quick as my mind would.  I lead basketball and soccer teams to playoff tournaments and accomplished my dream of playing collegiate soccer with some of the greatest men I've ever met.  I was pushed by coaches, family, teammates, and myself to develop physically, mentally, and spiritually.  The best part of this portion of my journey helped develop foundational coaching experiences as a player on and off the field.  Leading teams to compete in National Tournaments as a captain, mentoring/coaching younger players, volunteering with underprivileged children were some of the amazing blessings and experiences that have helped shape Mountain Fitness + Recovery's core values.  

​

The recovery part of my fitness journey has had more than just a couple of physical and mental setbacks.  A broken wrist, broken fingers, concussions, stitches, dislocated knee/broken patella, becoming overweight, and loss of family members are just a few of the major obstacles I've had to face.   What was broken had to be rebuilt slowly.  Persistence was and still is a key part of my prior physical recovery as well as continuing mental recovery.  

Past experiences have shaped how passionate I am about helping you overcome your obstacles.  I'm here to push/support/coach/lead you to reach your goals.  I hope to share my experiences with passion on your journey.
