Why I chose a career in fitness?
I am a former pitcher in the St. Louis Cardinals organization. After four years of minor league baseball, I took my experience and knowledge and began running baseball clinics and camps, and coaching baseball at the collegiate level (Dominican College). While putting workouts together for my players, I realized how much of a passion I had for personal training. Fitness and Health have been a lifestyle of mine since my adolescent years.
