After receiving my bachelor's degree at
Indiana University
(1994), I decided I had no clue what I wanted to do with my life. I
had always been involved with athletics and really taken an interest with
health and fitness during my time at IU. So, In 1995 I received my
certification as a Personal Trainer with the American Council on Exercise. My first training job was at Bally Total Fitness. During that time, I also worked as a Strength Coordinator for Ron Golden's Baseball School developing an off-season workout program for baseball athlete's. I did this for several years. I also worked as an independent trainer for a company called the Total Fitness Institute, Inc. (yeah, I had a lot of part-time gigs). In 1997, I got
certified as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) by
the Na While at Bally Total Fitness, I founded and incorporated Fitness Planning Consultants, Inc. in 1998. After four years, I finally left Bally's and went full time with my new personal training business on January 1, 2000. I wanted to start the new millennium off right. To help my strength coaching experience with athletes, I accepted the Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach position at Columbus State Community College in September 2000. I didn't stay there long because I was offered a Head Strength and Conditioning position at my old high school, Columbus Academy, in March 2001. This laid the groundwork for fine-tuning my training methods for athletes. After several years of doing personal training in people's homes and renting space at local gyms, I finally, in June 2003, opened up Sports Conditioning Specialists. A private training studio that improves athletes' speed and strength, while helping weight loss clients safely and permanently lose weight and keep it off. I received my last certification in February 2003 through the United States Weightlifting as a Sport Performance Coach. The company that I created has helped many individuals accomplish their personal health and fitness goals. People who are/have obesity, arthritics, diabetics, general health, osteoporosis, pregnant females, lower back pain, hypertension, lowering cholesterol, people with MS, fibromyalgia, athletes looking to get stronger and faster, weekend warriors, and all people inbetween. We really do a great job here and value YOU most importantly. Nothing pleases me more than seeing someone bring in old clothes that they
can't wear anymore because they are too big. Or reading about the athletes
we worked with in the off-season in the local paper. We are equally as
happy about your successes as you are. I have been a contributing writer for http://thedietchannel.com and an Expert author at http://ezinearticles.com. I am also open for speakings. My last speaking opportunity was at the 2008 Ohio NSCA State Strength and Conditioning Clinic, but I have also spoken at OhioHealth, the Gahanna Chamber of Commerce, and the Gahanna Rotary Club.
