I am a Christian 1st, husband/father 2nd &  NASM  Certified Personal Trainer 3rd who brings 18 years of fitness and nutrition experience to jandJ. 
Since graduating from PURDUE UNIVERSITY in 1992 with a
BA in Communication & 3 minors, including  Exercise Physiology  , I have provided services to clients in cardiac rehabilitation,
post-physical therapy, weight management, and
sports performance enhancement. 
As a competitive athlete for most of my life, my biggest challenge was surviving cancer in 2007.  After fundraising for the Lance Armstrong Foundation, I learned the true meaning of giving and receiving the gift of fitness!
