I am a devoted family man with a strong foundation in my faith. Above all I want to love God and people to the best of my ability. Professionally, I have dedicated my career to making a difference in the lives of young people. As a Health and Physical Education Teacher at Smithville High School and Green Middle School in Northeast Ohio, I’ve spent years investing in students, encouraging them to lead healthy, active lives. My passion for fitness and well-being extends beyond the classroom. I desire to help people of any age to become physical healthy so they can embrace a balanced, active lifestyle, rooted in purpose.

My education includes a Master’s degree in Sport Education from Ashland University (2013), a Bachelors degree in Health/PE from Liberty University (2004), as well as an Associate’s degree in Business Management Technology from the University of Akron (2000). Along the way I also became a certified personal trainer from the International Sports Sciences Associations (ISSA) and I am certified ATG Level 1 coach.
