As the years unfolded, my understanding of ‘something bigger’ evolved. It transcended the pursuit of physical ideals to become a journey of increased capacity—the capacity to engage with life more fully, to embrace challenges with resilience, and to find joy in the everyday. It became a profound exploration of wellness that extended beyond the physical, intertwining with mental and emotional well-being. This shift in perspective became the cornerstone of my philosophy, shaping not only how I approach fitness but also how I guide others on their transformative journeys.

My career began way back in the late ’90s in New York City. Over the years, I cultivated a thriving professional practice, eventually becoming a co-founder of Transform Fitness, a personal training studio located in the heart of midtown Manhattan. For a decade, I served as the managing partner, contributing to the growth of a dynamic culture focused on self-development and exceptional training.
