my theme song is…
“Gold Lion” by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

i inspire and challenge my tribers by…
I love showing everyone they’re stronger than think, both mentally and physically.

my tribers inspire and challenge me by…
When I see the sweat dripping, the heavy breathing, the exhausted looks on their faces… and they still push themselves.

this might surprise you, but…
1. I started lifting by following around a bunch of guys who used to play football
2. I’ve got mad hula hoop skills
3. I find immense joy watching cats on youtube

the best advice i’ve ever received…
“There is freedom waiting for you,
On the breezes of the sky,
And you ask “What if I fall?”
Oh but my darling,
What if you fly?” -Erin Hanson

my favorite indulgence is…
pizza with extra cheese and banana peppers

favorite place i have travelled…
Florence

next place i want to travel…
Germany

if i weren’t a bari instructor i’d be…
I’ll always be dancing.
