1986 I graduated with a BS from Purdue University. I spent one year working for Hyatt Corporation. After a short year I realized my heart was in the fitness industry. I spent the next twelve years teaching group exercise at Lieman Sports Club, The Athletic Club Illionios Center, Lake Shore Athletic Club and managing The Chicago Sweat Shop. I spent four years working with the Department On Aging in  housing projects bringing fitness to the residents. I was the owner of Second Wind, a beautiful aerobic studio that employed the best teachers the industry had to offer.

 

1988 saw a tremendous growth in the Running Industry in Chicago. I am so proud to have been a part. From teaching stretching classes in running stores to performing the "warm ups" before iconic Chicago races to competing in races throughout the Mid-West. I have seen the running industry blow up! I can tell you the fitness industry has change immensely since those days. But what has not changed is my passion for health and wellness.

 

1998 brought many changes to the indusrty and  "personal trainer" was now the buzz word. I was thrilled to take my skill set and help individuals work toward fitness goals. It has been my priviledged to work with every client that has crossed my path in the past 30 years. I know my knowledge, fitness expertise, compasion and network of professionals have change the health and wellness of hundreds over the years.

 

2014 brings new changes again. I am thrilled to be expanding my business to serve more people. With the same passion and dedication I have placed on my personal careeer, I will now be hiring a team to work with me.

 

I look forward to introducing you to my team of dedicated professionals. It is my hope you will trust your fitness needs to Custom Fit the same you have trusted me for the past 30 years.
