Who I Am
I got started in the fitness industry because someone believed and invested in me. I quickly found not just a profession, but a passion and purpose. Over ten years later I've been blessed to have the opportunity to educate and inspire others to pursue their passion and own their health.
​
From curriculum development to instruction and education; from fitness professionals to military members to mainstream fitness, I have a diverse background that has provided me with strong leadership skills and abilities.

Letter of Appreciation
September 2017
Commanding General, Marine Corps Installations West for contributions to the 2017 High Intensity Tactical Athlete Championships.
"I recently took a three classes through NETA at the YMCA in Appleton WI. I am a NETA certifie[d] Personal Trainer for about 4 years now. As usual I was totally enthralled with the information that was provided by the instructors. Jon and Darci were not only very knowledgeable about the info they were providing, they also delivered it with a substantial amount of passion and excitement. They kept the classes interesting by adding their own personal experiences and were very helpful with any questions we had regarding proper technique or protocol . I would strongly urge anybody who was interested in becoming a Personal trainer to check out what NETA has to offer. They are an industry leader for a reason."
