Biography

My interest in wellness came long before I realized.  In elementry school we had a day of education and testing of scoliosis which I remember not taking seriously it until the school nurse told me that I had it.  Doctors told me and my parents that I would grow up to wear a back brace by my early 20's.  I remember being highly upset about it as a child until one of my uncles told me not to worry about it and just workout to stengthen my back.  I don't think he knew how powerful that advice was and I certainly didn't know what I was doing when I exercised.  One day in college after running a 5k there was a chiropractor doing free back examines.  While he performed the examine I told him that I had scoliosis and how doctors told me I was going to have to wear a back brace by my early 20's.   He was amazed and said while I do have scoliosis that my back was strong, and as long as I worked out the right way my back would stay strong.  At that time, I was becoming bored of my aerospace engineering major so that day inspired me to switch to sports medicine.  Meanwhile the wellness field was growing fast in Miami and studies at the University were proving how exercise prevented numerous conditions and diseases. 

After moving back to Maryland I worked at a Golds Gym to gain experience while studying nutrition and massage therapy at the same time.  By combining proper nutrition habits, cardio, strength training, flexibility and recovery/rehab techniques I found my clientèle gained results faster and more effective then the other personal trainers clients who just worked out and stretched.  I took these techniques and started Happy Heart Wellness Center so more people can experience the results from these techniques in a private setting.
