About

As a retired Staff Sergeant from the U.S. Air Force, John was put in a variety of different leadership roles and learned how to motivate people to reach their goals. He found his passion for fitness while being deployed and enjoyed visiting gyms in different countries. Coming in at 6’8” he had to learn how to adapt his own workouts to fit his body type and welcomes the challenge to tailor programs for everyone he meets. John received his personal trainer certification through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. As a Texas native he grew up playing hockey and basketball and fell in love with sports and exercise at an early age. His main strength he wishes to carry over from his military career is his passion to help others.
