My road to fitness began in 2001 when I suffered from a traumatic brain injury which almost killed me. The doctors did not think I was going to survive the night. In order to heal I was placed into a self-induced coma for 2 weeks. When I came out of the comma, my equilibrium was compromised that I could not even stand. I had to be placed in a wheelchair for 3 months. During that time, I was determined to regain my balance, strength, and motor skills. I worked with personal trainers and physical therapists who inspired me to want to do the same for others. Today my passion is working with seniors, people with disabilities and anyone who wants to improve their health and fitness.
