I am currently livin’ in Philadelphia, PA with Grace, the love of my life & fiancée (after 10 years of dating), and our 2 cats, Tink and Po. I’m a part time instructor and personal trainer at Life Time in Fort Washington PA and at Spark and Vitality in Elkins Park. I run Grit and Gratitude full time, train for ultramarathons, and am planning a wedding!

I admit, I have plenty to learn and much of my own potential to fulfill. I make mistakes and adjust along the way. However, even with those truths, I confidently say I’ve made massive progress in my mind and as an athlete, and I’ll do anything I can to maximize that potential. I’m just like many of you - I have my struggles, I was impacted by death and divorce at a young age, and have been battling depression and anxiety for over a decade now. I was a full time nursing student in 2018, working 7 days a week to survive, drinking often and the most unhealthy I’ve ever been. Miserable.

Since that point in time and after dropping out of college, I:

• Became a personal trainer and nutrition coach online in 2020

• Ran my first 50 miler in 2020

• Bought my first investment property in 2021

• Started teaching classes and training clients in person in 2021

• Started The Grit and Gratitude Community in 2021

• Bought my second investment property in 2022

• Ran my first 100 miler in 2022

• Have run four total 100 mile races, 11 ultra-marathons total

• Got engaged to Grace, my girlfriend since 2014 (15 years old) in 2023

• Launched Rise Above Running Fundraiser - over $2,250 raised for the kids as of July 2024

• Launched Grit to Greatness Workout Program August of 2024

…and I’ll forever be adding to this list.
